For six years, a large team of research colleagues in China and the United States added rice to the control sectors, which were subject to carbon dioxide and various temperature levels. They found that when the two increased, according to the climate scientists estimates, the amount of arsenic and inorganic arsenic in the rice grain also increased.
Arsenic is naturally found in some foods, including fish and shellfish, and in water and soil.
Inorganic arsenic is found in industrial materials and enters the water – which includes water used to sink rice pads.
Rice is easily submerged with mournful clothing and other crops, but it has a benefit: it grows well in water. So the farmers grow the seeds, and when the plants are ready, apply them in wet soil. He then floods in his fields, which presses mournful clothing, but allows the rice to flourish. Rice easily absorbs water and everything in it. It also includes arsenic, either naturally or not. Most rice in the world grow like this.
New research shows that climate change will increase these levels.
When the complex biochemical process in the soil is what happens in rice, when temperatures and co -coers2 Grow, also does inorganic arsenic, “Zeska said. And it’s an inorganic arsenic that is the biggest health threat.”
Inorganic arsenic exposure is linked to skin cancer, bladder, and lungs, heart disease, and neurological problems in newborns. Research has shown that in some parts of the world, with high use of rice, increases the risk of inorganic arsenic cancer.
