Retraction Note: Environmental Science and Pollution Research (2022) 29:59263-59286
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding high similarity among multiple panels in Figs. 9-12. Further checks by the publisher have found irregularities in the western blot backgrounds in Fig. 14. The authors have been able to provide alternative data, but not the original full gel images of the blots presented in Fig. 14.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.

The publisher has not been able to obtain current email addresses for Saba Ilkhani and Seyed Hamidreza MirBehbahani.
