Exposure and Health Impact Assessment of Essential and Non-Essential Elements in Rice Sold on Ghanaian Markets

“…These are lower than the 5.10 -58.80mg kg − 1 reported byYadav et al (2017) in Northern India. A similar study bySingh et al (2014) in Narora, India, recorded 63.24 mg kg − 1 as levels of Fe in rice grains. From this current study, levels of Fe were however lower than the WHO maximum allowable limits of 450mg/kg in food(WHO.…”

Chromium contamination in paddy soil-rice systems and associated human health risks in Pakistan

“…In Sindh and Punjab, 90.69% and 98.79%, respectively, of grain samples exceeded the allowable threshold for Cr in grain (1.0 mg kg −1 ) established by the CNFS. Similarly, the average soil Cr and the average Cr concentration in rice grains are comparatively higher than those reported in several studies in different parts of the world, including Shengzou (0.2 mg kg −1 ) (Zhao et al, 2009), Shimen and Fenghuang (0.1 mg kg −1 ) (Zeng et al, 2015), Jiaxing (0.46 mg kg −1 ) (Qu et al, 2015), China, and Narora, India (0.6 mg kg −1 ) (Singh et al, 2014).…”

The average Cr concentration in paddy soil was comparatively higher than the levels found in several studies conducted in different parts of the world, including Shengzou (29.8 mg kg −1 ) (Zhao et al, 2009), Kunming (73.4 mg kg −1 ) (Cheng et al, 2018), Shimen, Fenghuang, and Xiangtan (26.0, 23.7, and 33.1 mg kg −1 , respectively) (Zeng et al, 2015), Jiaxing (60.63 mg kg −1 ) (Qu et al, 2015), China; Faridpur, Bangladesh (86.0 mg kg −1 ) (Ahsan et al, 2009); Narora, India (8.1 mg kg −1 ) (Singh et al, 2014); and Aomori, Japan (31.0 mg kg −1 ) (Tsukada et al, 2007).…”
