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
In this study, 103 water, agricultural soil, and crops irrigated with wastewater or tube-well water were collected, and their heavy metal content was evaluated using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The Monte Carlo simulation method was used for exposure assessment and investigation of the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects of the studied elements in the crops.. The results showed that the mean heavy metal contents of agricultural soil was lower than the suggested limit, except for Ni (84 ± 27 mg/kg dry weight). The mean concentrations of Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cr, As, Co, Ni, Cd, and Hg in the crops were 31 ± 35.7, 3.7 ± 3, 3.2 ± 2, 0.98 ± 0.7, 0.28 ± 0.4, 0.14 ± 0.1, 0.06 ± 0.06, 0.03 ± 0.04, 0.19 ± 0.15, 0.03 ± 0.06, and 0.01 ± 0.06 mg/kg fresh weight, respectively.. The non-carcinogenic risk of As was 1.5E + 00 in the agricultural soil and 1.47E + 00 in the crops (target hazard quotient >1.0). Moreover, the carcinogenic risk of As was 1.15E-04, which is higher than the safe level in children (1 × 10−6). Also, the carcinogenic risk of Ni, Cd, and As in most vegetables was higher than the tolerable limit (1 × 10−6). In conclusion, the present results provided some basic information about heavy metal contamination of crops and human health risks in Hamadan, Iran.
