Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
Lake Tai is the third largest freshwater lake in China with annual cyanobacteria blooms. Microcystins produced by these blooming cyanobacteria species have both acute and chronic hepatotoxic effects on animals and humans in the resin. This paper determined the concentrations of extracellular MCs-LR in 12 typical areas around Lake Tai and 29 sites in Jiaxing River net water of Lake Tai downriver by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) during the period of Mar. 2008 to Feb. 2009. The results showed the MC-LR concentration in each sampling site was relatively higher in Aug. and Oct. than other months in 2008 and the highest concentration was 0.66 μg L-1 in typical areas around Lake Tai exception for MC-LR undetected during the period of Dec.2008 to Feb.2009. The results not only revealed the applicability of ELISA by comparison with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) but also offered scientific evidence for environmental assessment about circumjacent typical areas effect on Lake Tai.
