Abstract Background Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) are two toxic elements that have a
relatively high risk of transfer from paddy soil to rice grain. Rice is a major dietary source of …

Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic environmental contaminants that is ubiquitously
distributed in the environment. Millions of people worldwide suffer from As poisoning due to …

Flooding of paddy fields during the rice growing season enhances arsenic (As) mobilization
and greenhouse gas (eg, methane) emissions. In this study, an adsorbent for dissolved …

The accumulation of carcinogenic arsenic in rice, the world's main staple crop, represents a
health threat to millions of people. The speciation of arsenic controls its mobility and …

Arsenic (As) accumulation in rice is of global concern for human health and international
trade. Rice is typically reported to contain inorganic As (iAs) and dimethylated arsenate …

Water management in paddy soils can effectively reduce the soil-to-rice grain transfer of
either As or Cd, but not of both elements simultaneously due to the higher mobility of As …

Over 300 species of naturally occurring-organoarsenicals have been identified with the
development of modern analytical techniques. Why there so many environmental …

Natural processes and human activities have caused widespread background
contamination with non-essential toxic elements. The uptake and accumulation of cadmium …

Microbe-mediated arsenic (As) methylation is enhanced when paddy soils are flooded,
producing primarily dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) that is phytotoxic and can induce rice …

Arsenic species transformation in paddy soils has important implications for arsenic
accumulation in rice grains and its safety to the consumers. Methylated thioarsenates …
