Environmental contextIn countries where inhabitants are not exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water, food is the major source of potentially toxic inorganic arsenic. To complement the existing worldwide dataset on arsenic in rice, data are presented on Australian- and overseas-grown rice, and assessed in terms of possible risk. Only a diet comprising multiple serves of some rice products per day poses a potential risk to young children. AbstractArsenic concentrations and speciation measurements were determined for six varieties of Australian-grown rice (n = 130), imported rice (n = 53) and rice products (n = 56) from supermarkets. Total As, inorganic As and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) concentrations in Australian rice ranged from 16 to 630 µg As kg−1 (mean ± s.d.: 220 ± 122 µg kg−1), 16 to 250 µg As kg−1 (92 ± 52 µg As kg−1) and <5 to 432 µg As kg−1 (125 ± 109 µg As kg−1), respectively. Total As, inorganic As and DMA concentrations in imported rice ranged between 31 and 376 µg As kg−1 (130 ± 98 µg kg−1), 17 and 198 µg As kg−1 (73 ± 40 µg As kg−1) and <5 and 327 µg As kg−1 (84 ± 92 µg As kg−1) respectively. Few samples exceeded the guidelines for inorganic As in polished rice. In rice products, total As, inorganic As and DMA concentrations ranged between 21 and 480 µg As kg−1 (160 ± 110 µg As kg−1), 20 and 255 µg As kg−1 (92 ± 78 µg As kg−1) and <5 and 340 µg As kg−1 (65 ± 69 µg As kg−1) respectively. Sixteen samples exceeded the 100 µg kg−1 maximum for inorganic As concentration in rice foods for infants and young children. Ingestion of multiple serves of some rice products poses a potential risk. Environmental chemistry gaps, on processes influencing As occurrence in rice, are discussed.
