Heavy Metal Contamination: Rice

Olivia Naoh

Heavy metal contamination in crops is often caused by human activities, like mining, fertilizers, pesticides, and waste material sludge. Compared to most cereal crops though', rice (Oryza sativa L.) truly accumulates additional serious materials, like Cd or arsenic, wherever long serious metal intake will cause health risks. For instance, long arsenic exposure ends up in disease, high pressure level, and medical specialty effects. This can be particularly vital to think about as rice could be a staple food across the world. In a recent study, researchers investigated the consequences of various cookery strategies (normal, hard-hitting and microwave cooking) on the concentration, bio-accessibility and health risks posed by three serious metals (cadmium, arsenic and lead) in two strains of rice [1].
