TL;DR: Consumption of contaminated food is a major route of exposure to toxic contaminants for humans, and As and Cd concentrations in rice sold in Bangkok were determined, and non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk assessments were conducted.

TL;DR: The concentrations of bio accessible As, which were 1–1.2 times greater than those of bioaccessible Cd, indicate a higher possibility of As absorption into the human body and the consumption of the home-grown rice in this study should be limited.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss various strategies that can be utilised to tackle the arsenic contamination of rice, and the socioeconomic impacts of the As problem, including irrigation water management, balanced supplement of various nutrient elements like selenium (Se), silicon (Si), sulfur (S), nitrogen (N), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) has been found to impart dual benefits in terms of reduced As toxicity as well as enhance the nutritional quality of rice grains.

TL;DR: The probabilistic risk results indicated that children and adults were at risk of both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects from both types of rice consumption.

TL;DR: The consumption of all types of rice could not supply sufficient amounts of all microelements except Mn to maintain optimum health, and both As and Cd intake levels were lower than the benchmarks of toxic health effects.
