Rice finding 787
Source evidence and comparison details for the Rice profile.
Polished white rice (commercial) · Cadmium (Cd) · 10 rice samples (field composites per site; commercial packs).
Selected finding and reference
10 rice samples (field composites per site; commercial packs). Basis: dry weight.
Values below LOD assigned 1/2 LOD by the source for statistics (Section 2.5); medians/min reported as printed
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

Reported growing area.
Sampling, analysis and reporting limits
Freeze-dried, ball-milled; 1% HNO3 microwave extraction with H2O2 oxidation, IC-ICP-MS (Thermo AS7 column, iCAP Q) for As species; HNO3/H2O2 microwave digestion and ICP-MS for Cd.
Values below LOD assigned 1/2 LOD by the source for statistics (Section 2.5); medians/min reported as printed
Printed value lies at or below the paper's own detection limit (9 µg/kg); it is treated as bounded between zero and that limit.
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.
