Although the arsenic levels in rice are generally low, long-term consumption—especially if rice is eaten daily—may pose ...

Arsenic has two chemical forms, inorganic and organic (the latter of which can be less toxic), and is naturally part of the minerals in the earth's crust. (Note, here organic is a chemistry term ...

Its website states that arsenic is "a naturally occurring element in soil and water" and "all plants take up arsenic." But "natural" does not equal safe. Inorganic arsenic, the predominant form of ...

The work is published in the journal Nature Communications. Arsenic is a trace element that lies just below phosphorus—which is essential for all living organisms—in the periodic table.
