Abstract

To understand the threat posed by arsenic in rice to human food chains, the quantity and chemical species of arsenic ingested by an individual or population have to be assessed, along with gut bioavailability and the hazard associated with that arsenic. This chapter will deal with arsenic present in commercial rice products.
