TLDR
Polishing brings about a loss of the essential elements Zn and Cu, but not of Cd, a toxic pollutant, in rice, which may cause excessive absorption of this toxic metal in countries where rice is a major staple food.About:

Long-term effects of exogenous silicon on cadmium translocation and toxicity in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
TL;DR: It is concluded that Si enhances plant growth and decreases Cd accumulation in shoots and thereby helps to lower the potential risks of food contamination.

Cadmium and lead contamination in japonica rice grains and its variation among the different locations in southeast China.
TL;DR: The results showed that the great difference in coefficients of variation was observed both among cultivars grown in the same location and among locations of cultivars planted, in which locations showed much more contribution to the variation of Cd or Pb concentration in milled rice grains as compared with cultivars.

Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals Contamination in Paddy Soil, Plants, and Grains (Oryza sativa L.) at the East Coast of India
TL;DR: The concentrations of heavy metals were found to be higher in paddy field soils than that of the nearby control soil but below permissible limits, and the higher Health Index values of rice consuming adults and children suggest their adverse health effects in the near future.
