Researchers estimated Americans' inorganic arsenic exposures from drinking water and rice—a food that may contain arsenic—and concluded that rice consumption may account for as much inorganic arsenic exposure as drinking water in some U.S. populations. https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/ehp418/ See also J.R. Barrett's commentary on the article in the following issue of EHP, Rice versus Drinking Water: Estimating the Primary Source of Arsenic in the U.S. Diet, at https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/ehp2096/.
