摘要
The ubiquitous occurrence of organophosphate ester flame retardants (OPFRs) may pose a threat to human health. Most of the OPFRs are suspected to be carcinogenic, neurotoxic and can cause fertility and reproductive effects (World Health Organization, 2000) and (Van der Veen and De Boer, 2012). Although a number of researches have detailed high level of organophosphate ester flame retardant worldwide, unfortunately Nepal has never been part of any global/regional monitoring campaign. This data article presents the concentration of eight different compounds of organophosphate ester flame retardants (OPFRs) measured in indoor air and house dust. Thirty four indoor air and 28 house dust samples were collected from four major cities (Kathmandu, Pokhara, Birgunj, and Biratnagar) of Nepal to investigate the contamination level and distribution pattern of OPFR. The median concentration and relative contribution of individual OPFR has been also discussed (Yadav et al., 2017). (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
