Arsenic is present in rice grain mainly as inorganic arsenic. Little is known about the effect of
cooking on inorganic arsenic content in rice and its bioavailability. This study evaluated total …

Arsenic (carcinogenic) is a global health concern due to its presence in groundwater and
subsequent accumulation in cultivated-rice via irrigation. The present work focused on the …

The bioaccumulation of arsenic compounds in rice is of great concern worldwide because
rice is the staple food for billions of people and arsenic is one of the most toxic and …

Background Millions of people worldwide consume arsenic-contaminated rice; however,
