Rice finding 2633

Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.

Dai et al. 2025

Brown rice (husked grain) · Dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) · Sample count unreported.

Selected finding and reference

mAs proportions peaked at intermediate ages (27% in husks and 26% in brown rice at 500 y) and then declined to 21% (husks) and 16% (brown rice) by 2,000 y (% of total grain As as methylated As)Individual sample.

Sample count unreported. Basis: unspecified (grain digested/enzymatically extracted; drying of chronosequence grain not stated).

not reported

HMI baseline position

Limited data: Reported as % of total grain As as methylated As; a concentration reference in µg/kg cannot apply. Missing evidence never means low contamination.

Reported as % of total grain As as methylated As; a concentration reference in µg/kg cannot apply.

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

Collection date unreported

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

Geographic scope

Sampling site within one study.

Sampling, analysis and reporting limits

Total As: HNO3 digestion, ICP-MS; species: enzymatic extraction of grain, HPLC-ICP-MS (C18 for DMA/methylated thioarsenates; PRP-X100 for oxyarsenates).

not reported

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.
