Full Description

Arsenic has been said to be one of the world's most toxic elements, infiltrating the food chain and finding its way into foods. Studies have recently detected high levels of arsenic in rice, which is a major concern since rice is a staple food for a large part of the world's population. This new volume addresses this problem, covering arsenic contamination in rice and offering effective mitigation strategies.
