Canadian high arctic ice core records of organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers
Arctic ice cap cores were analyzed for organophosphate esters (OPEs). Depositional flux increased exponentially over 4 decades at one site but were lower further north. Some OPEs were associated with anthropogenic particles, possibly microplastics.
