Arsenic (As) occurs naturally in different forms and oxidation states. Amongst them, inorganic arsenic (iAs) is classified as both genotoxic carcinogenic whilst other organic species are considered less toxic. As rice mainly present the form of iAs which therefore poses a health risk to populations that consume staple food.
