Abstract

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).Reason: This article duplicates significant parts of a paper that had already appeared in J. Environ. Manage., 86 (2008) 481–497, doi:10.1016/j.jenvman.2006.12.024. The authors of the present article have directly copied significant amounts of text and references, two tables, and one figure, which were previously published in Journal of Environmental Management, without permission from the authors or publisher and without citation to the original article. As such, this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system and a clear violation of publishing ethics. We regret that this was not detected before the article was accepted for publication in the journal.
