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

Adult female, Fischer-344 rats were exposed to 275 mg/kg of tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate (TRCP) by gavage. TRCP produced consistent signs of convulsive activity within 60-90 min after dosing and extensive loss of CAT hippocampal pyramidal cells when examined 7 days after dosing.
