Rice finding 2435
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Rice grain (pooled: 3 polished white Carolino, 1 husked 'wild' long-grain, 1 husked brown) · Uranium (U) · 5 rice grain samples (one per harvest/type).
Selected finding and reference
5 rice grain samples (one per harvest/type). Basis: unspecified (grains milled to powder; drying not stated).
All samples below ICP-MS quantification limit (<0.01 mg/kg)
Low / Moderate / High rating
No relative rating: reporting limits leave the target median bounded. Overlapping bounds do not establish equal levels or a direction of difference.
Selected comparison
Limits overlapNo compatible same-study subgroup with the same statistic, basis and analyte.Within-study comparisons use the same source, analyte, statistic and analytical method.Collection period
2020–2022
No year-by-year sample register is reconstructed from this summary.
Geographic scope
All BVL rice samples
All samples in the study.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
ICP-MS (Agilent 7700) after HNO3+H2O2 digestion of 0.25 g milled grain; at least two aliquots per sample.
All samples below ICP-MS quantification limit (<0.01 mg/kg)
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.
