Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
This chapter reviews the roles that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their products play as reservoirs and potential amplifiers of antibiotic resistant bacterias (ARBs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), their role in bacterial diversity and/or transmission through the lens of a One Health perspective, and their influence on the health of humans, animals, and the environment. One Health is a concept that recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are inextricably linked, and thus a collaborative and integrated multidisciplinary approach is needed to maintain the health of all. The One Health approach represents a contrast to traditional practices of human and animal medicine, which have been studied and practiced in isolation rather than as part of a world ecosystem. ARGs and ARB have been found throughout the wastewater treatment process from raw influent, primary and secondary effluent, aeration tanks, activated sludge, and residual biosolids.
