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
Exposure to different environmental chemicals like arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) from natural and anthropogenic activity represents a threat to global human health. Human populations are exposed to these chemicals either through drinking water or through occupational exposure in various industries. Different organ systems are affected to varying degrees following exposure in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In this chapter, we will discuss specific human immune responses as well as immune responses of different mammalian model systems in exposure to three environmental chemicals, As, Cd, and Pb. Although there are conflicting reports about the immunotoxic potential of metals and metalloids, but in general, immunomodulatory action exerted by environmental chemicals is directly dependent on the exposure dose, route, and time. Higher concentrations exert immunosuppressive action. However, at lower concentration, immunostimulatory effects can be observed. The focus of this chapter will be on in vivo and in vitro immune responses to these environmental chemicals, but the potential mechanisms of biological effects exerted by these chemicals will also be discussed.
