Organophosphate triesters and diesters in surface waters and sediments of an urbanized river in Eastern China: Spatial patterns and ecological implications
Key Points
Organophosphate diesters and triesters are prevalent in urban river sediments, indicating potential ecological impacts.
Concentrations of organophosphate compounds in surface waters show significant variation by location, with some sites exceeding safety thresholds.
Assessment of water and sediment samples provides insights into pollution levels and their spatial distribution.
Findings highlight the need for pollution management in urban waterways to mitigate ecological risks.
