Temporal variations and potential sources of organophosphate esters in PM2.5 in Xinxiang, North China

We monitored the concentrations of 10 organophosphate esters (OPEs) in 52 fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) samples in Xinxiang, Henan Province, North China, in 2015. During the sampling period, the OPE concentrations in most samples (n = 47) differed minimally and were relatively stable (mean: 2…
