Retraction: Pollution halo impact in context of productive capacities, energy poverty, urbanization, and institutional quality

The reliability of this article [1] is in question because there are issues linking it to a series of submissions for which PLOS identified concerns about authorship, data integrity, and peer review.

In addition, our post-publication assessment indicated that the article [1] does not meet PLOS ONE’s publication criteria.

In light of these issues, the PLOS ONE Editors retract the article. We regret that the issues were not identified before the article was published.

All authors did not agree with the retraction.
