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.

Article Description
The aim of this study was to examine the water quality of a small stretch of the Po River in the Piedmont region (northern Italy). Along this stretch the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located in Castiglione Torinese treats a large pollution load derived from Turin’s metropolitan area (about 2 million population equivalent), and discharges it into the Po River. The objective of the study was the definition of the environmental impact produced by the Castiglione Torinese WWTP on the water quality of the river, based on various hydrological conditions, and to recommend possible interventions on both the point and diffuse loads. In order to obtain this result the different loads in terms of sources, destination, and effects of the emitted pollutants were characterized. The obtained results show that the environmental status of the Po River is only minimally influenced by the Castiglione Torinese WWTP discharge, and hence the necessary intervention would be on the diffuse load rather than the treatment plant.
