This research was conducted to determine the status of micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co) and heavy metals (As, Pb) in the soil and rice crop in Ahvaz and Bawie counties, Iran. Twenty-eight composite soil and grain samples from selected rice farms were collected during the harvest time. The concentrations of elements in samples were determined by Inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry and in the grains by Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry device. Physicochemical properties of soil, bioconcentration factor, daily intakes and health risk assessment for elements were calculated. The results showed that the area is covered by alkaline saline soils, which is poor in micronutrients. The bioconcentration factor values of all elements were less than 1. Low levels of bioconcentration factor may be due to the low levels of nutrients in the soil as well as the physicochemical conditions of the soil. Furthermore, the results showed that the daily intake of Co (in the adults’ group) and Fe and Zn (in the children group) is very low. Health risk assessment showed that only adults are at the risk of non-cancerous and cancerous diseases caused by excess of As and Pb. Considering that Khuzestan province is the fourth largest producer of rice in Iran, the lack of micronutrients and presence of heavy metals in the rice produced in the study area can have adverse health effects on consumers. Investigation of this issue requires more detailed studies in the region.
