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
This chapter discusses initially the different pathways (soils, sediments, water, and air) through which contaminants are transported and become available to organisms and people posing health risks. The concept of bioavailability, the physical, chemical, and biological processes that define the exposure of plants and animals to chemicals is discussed as it relates to different scientific disciplines. Inorganic and organic contaminants can be retained in soils and sediments, and hence not available to living organisms under variable conditions. The chapter details further the main mechanisms of retention of different classes of chemicals, the conditions under which they can be immobilized or become mobile and travel within the water, and the type of soil material that can react and retain chemicals. The chapter discusses also the ecotoxicological hazard potential of contaminants by detailing their most important physicochemical, fate and effect parameters, and some of the methods to determine them. Calculations are also provided through the hazard quotient risk tool for persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which enables risk-based analyses to prioritize and manage POPs and other hazardous substance contaminated sites. Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion on particulate matter, its sources and health effects, and ambient air quality standards.
