Description

Rice serves as the primary staple food for half of the global population. Because of this widespread consumption, it represents the major exposure route for inorganic arsenic, a class one, non-threshold carcinogen. This book by Springer provides a detailed examination of how arsenic enters paddy soils and the specific biogeochemical processes involved. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the plant physiological attributes within paddy soil-rice ecosystems that contribute to high arsenic concentrations in rice grain. The text presents global patterns regarding arsenic concentration and speciation, offering a comprehensive look at the science behind this environmental concern. Beyond the soil and plant science, the book discusses human exposure to inorganic arsenic from rice and the resulting health risks. It identifies particular populations affected by these concentrations, making it an important resource for those studying food safety, environmental science, and global health risks associated with staple crops.

Key Features
