Rice finding 2419
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Brown rice, T-basmati (U.S. market rice) · Inorganic arsenic (iAs) · 1 rice samples (market products).
Selected finding and reference
1 rice samples (market products). Basis: unspecified.
iAs is not printed by the source as a single value; this sample value is As(III)+As(V) from Table 1 (the paper defines inorganic As as III+V). Where As(V) is '<0.005', value_ug_kg is the As(III) lower bound and bound_ug_kg is As(III)+5 µg/kg; no zero imputed.
HMI baseline position
Limited data: The source reports a non-detect without a numerical limit; its position cannot be identified. Missing evidence never means low contamination.
The source reports a non-detect without a numerical limit; its position cannot be identified.
Reference version and interpretation
Frozen evidence selection: 2026-10-22. Method: hmi-pooled-reference-v2.
No admitted reference
The reference is computed by HMI from admitted evidence, not copied from a study baseline. It describes the evidence currently in this scope; it is not a worldwide or current-lot benchmark. Source, year and region filters do not change it. Different HMI scopes are not one common ranking.
Collection period

No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
Total As: HNO3/H2O2 digestion + ICP-AES (ref 5). Species: 2.0 M TFA extraction at 75 °C, 6 h; IC (AS16) - ICP-DRC-MS (75As16O at m/z 91).
iAs is not printed by the source as a single value; this sample value is As(III)+As(V) from Table 1 (the paper defines inorganic As as III+V). Where As(V) is '<0.005', value_ug_kg is the As(III) lower bound and bound_ug_kg is As(III)+5 µg/kg; no zero imputed.
Shared samples and study overlap
Subgroup rows, statistics of the same subgroup and the study total share samples; they are not independent results.
Each table row describes a food/analyte result. Repeated rows do not add independent samples or datasets. No cross-study trend is calculated in this comparison mode.
