Abstract

<p>Herein, we quantified the concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in 63 milled rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivated in Japan, Vietnam, and Indonesia. We estimated the daily intake of Cd and As by adults and children consuming this rice by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Cd and As were detected in all milled rice samples. No significant differences were observed in Cd concentrations between Japanese (50th percentile concentration: 0.036 mg/kg), Vietnamese (0.035 mg/kg), and Indonesian rice (0.022 mg/kg). However, As concentrations in Vietnamese rice (50th percentile concentration: 0.142 mg/kg) were significantly higher than those in Japanese (0.101 mg/kg, p<0.001) and Indonesian rice (0.038 mg/kg, p<0.0001). Target hazard quotients (THQs) were then calculated to evaluate the non-carcinogenic health risk from ingestion of individual heavy metals (Cd and As) by rice consumption. Results revealed that THQs of individual heavy metals for Japanese, Vietnamese, and Indonesian adults and children consuming this rice were all less than one, suggesting that no health risk is associated with the intake of a single heavy metal via rice consumption.</p>
