Limited correlations between organophosphate esters and blood pressure in children and adolescents. A study of 1 194 persons aged 6 – 18 in Liuzhou, China, compared urinary levels of TCEP, BCIPHIPP, BDCIPP (chlorinated), DPHP, BBOEP, DoCP & DpCP (non-chlorinated) to systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Only BDCIPP showed overall statistically significant to blood pressure, but BBOEP and BCIPHIPP showed correlations to subpopulations (adolescents only, obese subjects). The authors note that two other studies have shown associations between organophosphate esters and hypertension in adults (Luo 2020, Li 2020).
