Individual and joint effects of exposure to multiple organophosphate esters and the risk of depression in adults: Differences in sex, age, and physical activity

Depression, a severe mental disorder, is a prominent cause of global disability and worldwide. Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are neuron-disrupting chemicals that potentially cause depression. However, the effects of OPEs on depression remain unclear.
