Numerous studies have reported the environmental contamination with traditional organophosphate triesters (tri-OPEs), but there is very little information on emerging tri-OPEs and organophosphate diesters (di-OPEs), especially in e-waste recycling areas. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive survey to monitor a broad suite of 11 traditional tri-OPEs, 12 emerging OPEs, and 10 di-OPEs in indoor dust collected from the workshops of (n = 42) and residential homes adjacent to (n = 24) a mega e-waste recycling industrial park in South China. In addition to traditional tri-OPEs, all of the emerging OPEs and di-OPEs were frequently detected in the dust samples. Total concentrations of emerging tri-OPEs and di-OPEs were in the range of 1210–62 900 and 2010–55 600 ng/g in the workshop dust and 435–23 700 and 186–4350 ng/g in the local home dust, respectively, which were comparable to those of traditional tri-OPEs (1160–61 500 and 370–13 900 ng/g, respectively). Most OPEs exhibited significantly higher concentrations in workshop dust versus local home dust (p < 0.05), indicating that e-waste dismantling activities contributed to the high residues of OPEs in indoor dust. Correlation analysis revealed that tri-OPEs have some common emission sources, i.e., e-waste and household products, while di-OPEs could originate from different sources, e.g., tri-OPE degradation, direct commercial application, and impurities in tri-OPE formulas. For both occupational workers and local adults, the median estimated daily intake values of emerging tri-OPEs (7.5 and 1.7 ng/kg bw/day, respectively) and di-OPEs (3.9 and 0.2 ng/kg bw/day, respectively) were comparable to that of traditional tri-OPEs (4.3 and 1.0 ng/kg bw/day, respectively), which suggests the important contribution of the emerging tri-OPEs and di-OPEs to the overall risks of human external exposure to OPE chemicals.
