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
Exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) has been associated with various adverse health effects, including severe pulmonary and cardiovascular effects. PM consists of different chemical components that vary with microenvironments in urban areas and pose challenges to assess personal exposure. In Hong Kong, more than 70% of the population commutes through roadway and railway public transport. This study aims to determine the oxidative potential and role of aerosol carbon and water-soluble metals in fine (d < 2.5 μm) and coarse PM (2.5 0.70) and organic and elemental carbon (OCEC) (R > 0.85) for UG and AG routes. In addition, PM from UG and AG routes generated 3–4-fold (in PM) and 40–50-fold (in coarse PM) less ROS compared to urban sites, suggesting PM in these public transport microenvironments may not be intrinsically redox active than in urban ambient, and water solubility of metals seems to have played an important role in it.
