Abstract
Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), a new type of flame retardants, are showing a wide range of applications as the most potential substitutes for phasing-out polybrominated diphenyl ethers. In this review, production and application of OPFRs in China and abroad as well as the toxicity of OPFRs were summarized. Several most commonly used OPFRs in China and their uses were introduced. The environmental and biological levels of these OPFRs at home and abroad were also compared after domestic research advances on OPFR were reviewed.
