The chlorinated organo-phosphate triesters, tris(2-chloroethyl)-phosphate (TCEP) and tris(monochloroisopropyl)-phosphate (TCPP), are employed in consumer articles for indoor usage, e.g. flame retardants and plasticizers in foam material as well as in paints, varnishes and wallpapers. As a result of this widespread usage
