As organic pollutants of emerging concern, organophosphate esters (OPEs) have shown toxicity to organisms after entering the water environment. However, research on OPEs in freshwater in Southwest China is very limited. The levels, distribution and partitioning behavior of OPEs in the Minjiang River and their influencing factors is still unknown. In this study, six OPEs, tri-n-butyl phosphate (TnBP), tri(2-chloroethyl)-phosphate (TCEP), trichloropropyl phosphate (TCPP), triphenyl phosphate (TPhP), tributoxyethyl phosphate (TBEP), and tris(2-ethylhexyl)-phosphate (TEHP), were determined in surface water, suspended particle matter (SPM) and sediments of the Minjiang River. The results showed that the average concentrations of Σ₆OPEs in surface water, SPM and sediments of the Minjiang River were 199.32±124.95 ng/L, 38463.79±45641.89 ng/g dry weight (dw) and 76.45±28.00 ng/g dw, respectively. High concentrations of OPEs were detected in SPM samples, indicating that more attention should be paid to pollution in SPM. It is worth noting that the variation trend of OPEs in SPM was almost opposite to that in water but basically similar to that in sediment. The proportions of alkyl OPEs in Σ₆OPEs increased from surface water to SPM and sediments. Alkyl OPEs were the main pollutants in SPM (10.44%–80.88% of Σ₆OPEs, mean of 54.52%) and sediments (59.08%–81.30% of Σ₆OPEs, mean of 68.91%), whereas chlorinated OPEs were the most abundant components in surface water (43.16%–75.99% of Σ₆OPEs, mean of 55.50%). The water-sediment partition coefficient (logK_OC) of OPEs was 4.97–7.58, while the water-SPM partition coefficient was 6.71–10.00. No significant correlations were found between logK_OW and logK_OC. K_OW was not the main factor affecting the distribution of OPEs in the Minjiang River, China.
