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
Occurrence, distribution, ecological risk and health risk of chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in PM2.5 of indoor dusts from Xi’an were determined. All the target elements were detected in the samples, and the maximum Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, As and Cd contents in PM2.5 of dusts were 458, 1005, 115, 604, 2845, 1778, 122.6, and 21.1 mg/kg, respectively. Human activities, industrial produce and traffic could be the main reason for the detection of heavy metals in PM2.5. Cd exhibited significantly high potential ecological risk, which suggested that more attention should be paid to the ecological and environmental effects of Cd pollution. Health risk analysis shows that ingestion of dust particles is the route of exposure for metals in dust, followed by dermal adsorption and inhalation. For children, hazard indexes (HIs) for metals As and Pb were lager than 1, indicating the adverse non-carcinogenic risk for children. Overall, this study provides fundamental information regarding the occurrence, distribution, ecological risk and health risk of heavy metals, which could be helpful for further investigating the health risks of heavy metals in atmospheric environments.
