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
To provide a comprehensive understanding of carbonaceous aerosol and its role in the haze formation in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration of China, size-segregated particulate matter samples (PM PM and PM) were continually collected from 20 December 2017, to 17 January 2018, in Xinxiang, the third largest city of Henan province. The results showed that the mean mass concentrations of PM, PM and PM were 63.20, 119.63 and 211.95 μgm, respectively, and the organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) were 11.37 (5.87), 19.24 (7.36), and 27.04 (10.27) μgm, respectively. Four pollution episodes that were categorized by short evolution patterns (PE1 and PE3) and long evolution patterns (PE2 and PE4) were observed. Meteorological condition was attributed to haze episodes evolution pattern. Carbonaceous components contributed to PE1 and PE2 under drier condition through transportation and local combustion emission, while they were not main species in PE3 and PE4 for haze explosive growth under suitable RH, whatever for the short or long evolution pattern. The atmospheric self-cleaning processes were analyzed by a case study, which showed the wet scavenging effectively reduced the coarse particles with a removal rate of 73%, while it was not for the carbonaceous components in fine particles that is hydrophobic in nature. These results highlight that local primary emissions such as biomass combustion were the important sources for haze formation in Central China, especially in dry conditions.
