Following publication in Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, the Editor-in-Chief was informed that portions of the paper were plagiarized from an earlier published paper. The home institution of the authors, The University of Michigan, was notified of the alleged plagiarism by the Editor-in-Chief, and conducted an independent investigation, which confirmed that portions of the review paper had been plagiarized. We therefore retract the paper.
