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.
According to the monitoring results of chemical parameters of seawaters in May, August and November, 2008, we analyzed the water quality of Quanzhou Bay and assessed it by the single-factor evaluation on the basis of corresponding standards of local marine functional areas. The results showed that the DIN and DRP contents are all at a high level because of the input of terrestrial pollutants, and in general, both were higher in the inner of the Bay than those of the outside. During the busy shipping, the petroleum content is higher near the harbor. Although the contents of heavy metals don´t exceed the standards, the Hg and As are at increasing tendency during the recent years.
