Greatly enhanced arsenic shoot assimilation in rice leads to elevated grain levels compared to wheat and barley
Paul N. Williams,Antia Villada,Claire Deacon,Andrea Raab,Jordi Figuerola,Andy J. Green,Joerg Feldmann,Andrew A. Meharg +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of variation in the assimilation and translocation of arsenic in commercially farmed temperate rice, wheat, and barley found that the risk posed by As in the human food-chain needs to be considered in the context of anaerobic verses aerobic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical Variation in Total and Inorganic Arsenic Content of Polished (White) Rice
Andrew A. Meharg,Paul N. Williams,Eureka Adomako,Youssef Y. Lawgali,Claire Deacon,Antia Villada,Robert C. J. Cambell,Guo-Xin Sun,Yong-Guan Zhu,Joerg Feldmann,Andrea Raab,Fang-Jie Zhao,Rafiqul Islam,Shahid Akhtar Hossain,Junta Yanai +14 more
TL;DR: Using country-specific rice consumption data, daily intake of inorganic arsenic was estimated and the associated internal cancer risk was calculated using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cancer slope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in Rice Cadmium Related to Human Exposure
Andrew A. Meharg,Gareth J. Norton,Claire Deacon,Paul Garreth Williams,Eureka Adomako,Adam H. Price,Yong-Guan Zhu,Gang Li,Fang-Jie Zhao,Fang-Jie Zhao,Steve P. McGrath,Antia Villada,Alessia Sommella,P. Mangala C.S. De Silva,Hugh Brammer,Tapash Dasgupta,M. Rafiqul Islam +16 more
TL;DR: From a survey of 12 countries on four continents, cadmium levels in rice grain were the highest in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, with both these countries also having high per capita rice intakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lead in rice: analysis of baseline lead levels in market and field collected rice grains.
Gareth J. Norton,Paul N. Williams,Eureka Adomako,Adam H. Price,Yong-Guan Zhu,Fang-Jie Zhao,Fang-Jie Zhao,Steve P. McGrath,Claire Deacon,Antia Villada,Alessia Sommella,Ying Lu,Lei Ming,P. Mangala C.S. De Silva,Hugh Brammer,Tapash Dasgupta,M. Rafiqul Islam,Andrew A. Meharg +17 more
TL;DR: A large scale survey of rice grains from markets and fields found that only people consuming large quantities of rice were at risk of exceeding the PTTI from rice alone, and further work is needed to identify the sources of lead contamination in rice.
