مستخلص: | Halogenated organophosphate esters (OPEs) are increasingly used as flame retardants to replace polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which have been phased out due to their confirmed persistence, toxicity, and ability to undergo long range atmospheric transport. Non-halogenated OPEs are primarily used as plasticizers. While human exposure to PBDEs in the Canadian Arctic is well documented, it is not the case for OPEs. To assess the exposure to OPEs in Inuit living in Nunavik (northern Québec, Canada), we measured 16 metabolites of halogenated and non-halogenated OPEs in pooled urine samples from the last population health survey conducted in Nunavik, the Qanuilirpitaa? 2017 Inuit Health Survey (Q2017). Urine samples (n = 1266) were pooled into 30 pools by sex (female; male), age groups (16-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-59; 60+ years old) and regions (Hudson Bay; Hudson Strait; Ungava Bay). Q2017 geometric means and 95 % confidence intervals were compared with data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey Cycle 6 (2018-2019) (CHMS). Halogenated OPEs were systematically detected and generally found at higher concentrations than non-halogenated OPEs in both Q2017 and CHMS. Furthermore, urinary levels of BCIPP and BDCIPP (halogenated) were lower in Q2017 compared to CHMS while concentrations of DPhP, DpCP and DoCP (non-halogenated) were similar between Q2017 and CHMS. Across the 16 metabolites measured in Q2017, BCIPHIPP (halogenated) had the highest levels (geometric mean: 1.40 μg/g creatinine). This metabolite was not measured in CHMS and should be included in future surveys. Overall, our results show that Inuit in Nunavik are exposed to lower or similar OPEs levels than the rest of the general Canadian population suggesting that the main current exposure to OPEs may be from consumer goods containing flame retardants and imported from the south rather than long-range atmospheric transport to the Arctic.
