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
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most important industries to man due to the production of drugs and other heath based products that are relevant to humans. Environmental contamination associated with pharmaceutical effluents has however become a pressing global issue in recent times because the discharge from these industries contains various organic and inorganic contaminants which have deleterious effects on aquatic life, environment and man. Most of these toxic compounds have also found their ways into surface and ground water constituting threat to human health and have been linked to serious diseases such as cancers, skin disorder, damages of vital organs as well as development of drug resistance among the human population. The efficient treatment of pharmaceutical waste water is therefore paramount for the purpose of human and environmental safety. Various methods have been employed in the treatment of waste water from pharmaceutical industries based on physical, chemical and biological processes. Most of these methods have their inherent limitations. Recent studies have documented the potentials of advanced oxidation processes in the treatment of waste water from pharmaceutical industries and other sources. This chapter therefore reviews pharmaceutical waste water treatment using oxidation and advanced oxidation processes. It discusses the chemical compositions of pharmaceutical waste water, the types of advanced oxidation processes utilized in waste water treatment, and the principles involved in advanced oxidation processes. Finally recent reports on the application of advanced oxidation for pharmaceutical waste water treatment are also highlighted.
