Abstract
ABSTRACT Water Quality Research Journal issues a formal retraction in relation to the above article titled by Tony R. Walker, Devin Macaskill and Peter Weaver. The decision to retract the article is due to concerns about redundant publication and duplicate submissions. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the content in this article substantially overlaps with a previously published material, which violates the journal's Ethics Policies and Guidance. We apologise for any confusion this may have caused. The authors have provided a response to our inquiries during the investigation and agreed with the retraction. As such, the Editors-in-Chief no longer have confidence in the integrity of the article.
