<p>The Journal retracts the 30 November 2022 article cited above.</p>
<p>Following publication, concerns were raised regarding the contributions of the authors of the article, as well as the scientific validity of the article. Our investigation, conducted in accordance with Frontiers policies, confirmed a serious breach of our authorship policies and that the conclusions of the article have been deemed unreliable. The article does not meet the standards of editorial and scientific soundness for Frontiers in Environmental Science; the article is therefore retracted.</p>
<p>This retraction was approved by the Chief Editors of Frontiers in Environmental Science and the Chief Executive Editor of Frontiers. The authors do not agree to this retraction.</p>
