Rice is the staple food for half of the world's population.
Consumption of rice is the major exposure route globally to the
class one, non-threshold carcinogen inorganic arsenic. This book
explains the sources of arsenic to paddy soils and the
biogeochemical processes and plant physiological attributes of
paddy soil-rice ecosystems that lead to high concentrations of
arsenic in rice grain. It presents the global pattern of arsenic
concentration and speciation in rice, discusses human exposures to
inorganic arsenic from rice and the resulting health risks. It also
highlights particular populations that have the highest rice
consumptions, which include Southern and South East Asians, weaning
babies, gluten intolerance sufferers and those consuming rice milk.
The book also presents the information of arsenic concentration and
speciation in other major crops and outlines approaches for
lowering arsenic in rice grain and in the human diet through
agronomic management.
