This review is on arsenic in agronomic systems, and covers processes that influence the
entry of arsenic into the human food supply. The scope is from sources of arsenic (natural …

Arsenic (As) contamination and its adverse consequences on rice agroecosystem are well
known. Rice has the credit to feed more than 50% of the world population but concurrently …

An extensive data set of total arsenic analysis for 901 polished (white) grain samples,
originating from 10 countries from 4 continents, was compiled. The samples represented the …

Paddy rice has been likened to nictiana sp in its ability to scavenge cadmium (Cd) from soil,
whereas arsenic (As) accumulation is commonly an order of magnitude higher than in other …

A global data analysis shows that rice grain arsenic (As) concentrations increase with
increasing soil As concentrations until about 60 mg As kg− 1 soil and then decreases. Of the …

Arsenic, which is commonly found in drinking water, is a potent toxicant, but little is known
about its effects on maternal health. Arsenic's modes of action include enzyme inhibition and …

As the world's population increases, demands on staple crops like rice (Oryza sativa L.) will
also increase, requiring additional fresh water supplies for irrigation of rice fields. Safe …

The mineral concentrations in cereals are important for human health, especially for
individuals who consume a cereal subsistence diet. A number of elements, such as zinc, are …

Agroecological zones within Bangladesh with low levels of arsenic in groundwater and soils
produce rice that is high in arsenic with respect to other producing regions of the globe. Little …

Strategies to reduce arsenic (As) in rice grain, below concentrations that represent a serious
human health concern, require that the mechanisms of As accumulation within grain be …
