Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
The use of purge and trap gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique for the determination of methylmercury in biological and sediment samples was described. The GC-MS detection system was combined with the dithizone extraction method for biological samples and the distillation method for sediment samples to alleviate matrix interference problems. The method was validated by analysis of CRMs such as SRM 966 (human blood), BCR 463 (tuna fish), IAEA 407 (fish), ERM CC580 (estuarine sediment), and IAEA 405 (sediment). The performance of the purge and trap GC-MS method was also tested on field samples of freshwater fish and sediment. The results were compared with those of the GC-ECD and the GC-CVAFS, which were used widely for methylmercury analysis. Additionally, total mercury and methylmercury levels in freshwater fish and sediments from various reservoirs and streams in Korea were measured to understand mercury contamination status in Korean peninsula. Methylmercury concentrations in freshwater fish were found to correlate with body weight, diet habit, and food availability. In sediment, total mercury concentrations correlated with methylmercury concentrations and organic matter such as %C and %S. However, no significant relationships between methylmercury and sediment organic matter have been found. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
