Rice can be a source of both inorganic and organic arsenic to diet.  In areas where water exposure is low, food may be the major exposure route for arsenic and rice can be a major source.  This talk discusses why rice contains higher levels of arsenic than other grains, the concentration range of arsenic found in rice and rice products, the bioavailability of arsenic from rice and rice products and implications for dietary exposure.  The talk also describes the analytical approaches to total and speciated arsenic analysis in rice and rice products.
