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
Increase in Rice Grain Arsenic for Regions of Bangladesh Irrigating Paddies with Elevated Arsenic in Groundwaters
Paul N. Williams,Mohammad Ayub Islam,Eureka Adomako,Andrea Raab,S.a. Hossain,Yong-Guan Zhu,Jörg Feldmann,Andrew A. Meharg +7 more
TL;DR: The vast majority of food ingested arsenic in Bangladesh diets was found to be inorganic; with the predominant species detected in Bangladesh rice being arsenite (AsIII or arsenate (AsV) with dimethyl arsinic acid (DMAV) being a minor component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in Rice Cadmium Related to Human Exposure

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
Selenium characterization in the global rice supply chain
Paul N. Williams,Enzo Lombi,Enzo Lombi,Guo-Xin Sun,Guo-Xin Sun,Kirk G. Scheckel,Yong-Guan Zhu,Yong-Guan Zhu,Xinbin Feng,Jianming Zhu,Anne-Marie Carey,Eureka Adomako,Eureka Adomako,Youssef Y. Lawgali,Claire Deacon,Andrew A. Meharg +15 more
TL;DR: The results revealed that the large majority of Se in the endosperm was present in organic forms, and around 75% of the grains from the production and export pools would fail to provide 70% of daily recommended Se intakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inorganic arsenic levels in baby rice are of concern
Andrew A. Meharg,Guo-Xin Sun,Paul N. Williams,Eureka Adomako,Claire Deacon,Yong-Guan Zhu,Joerg Feldmann,Andrea Raab +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of UK baby rice revealed a median inorganic arsenic content of 0.11 mg/kg, which was higher than drinking water maximum exposures predicted for adults in these regions when water intake was expressed on a bodyweight basis.
