Environmental fate and effects of triaryl and tri-alkyl/aryl phosphate esters

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 94))

Abstract

Public awareness of the presence of unwanted chemicals in the environment led to the passage of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA; Public Law 94-469) in 1976, and has resulted in pressure to define ever more clearly the fate and effects of environmental chemicals. In its second report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee (1978) recommended that aryl phospates, among various other chemicals, be given priority consideration for the promulgation of test rules under section 4(a) of TSCA. As defined by the Interagency Testing Committee, aryl phosphates are triaryl or mixed tri-alkyl/aryl esters of phosphoric acid having one or more aryl substituents. Trialkyl phosphates and phosphates and phosphate triesters containing halogens, nitrogen, or sulfur are excluded from this category. Aryl phosphates were recommended because of possible bioconcentration, environmental effects and exposure.
