The average concentrations (mg kg−1) of toxic trace elements were as follows: As: 0.17, Cr: 0.18, Ni: 0.55 and Pb: 0.18, while 7% and 40% of the rice samples surpassed, respectively, the EU recommended limits of As and Pb. This study revealed that rice could be a primary exposure pathway of toxic elements, leading to either noncarcinogenic or carcinogenic health problems for daily rice consumers. The non-carcinogenic health risk was mainly associated with As which contributed 77% to the hazard index. The carcinogenic risk measured as incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) was high (>10−4) with As, Cr and Ni, while Pb showed a moderate (<10−4) carcinogenic risk to adults. Rice can substantially be contaminated by trace elements other than As with potential human health risks. Consequently, regular monitoring of the marketed rice grain is demanded, backed up by viable mitigation strategies for reducing toxic elements uptake by rice grains.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:54:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30718 n = 162) with the highest fraction being 98.6%.

Arsenic intake variables and three indicators of hypertension risks (general hypertension, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)) were derived, and any relationship was quantified using a series of crude and multivariable log-linear or logistic regression models. The prevalence of general hypertension was 40% for the studied population. The median level of HDL was 45 mg/dL while median value of LDL was 114 mg/dL. Apart from a marginally significant positive relationship between As intake from rice and the changes of LDL (p-value = 0.032), no significant positive association between As intake and hypertension risks could be ascertained. In fact, As_total was found to be associated with lower risks of general hypertension and higher levels of HDL (p-value = 0.020 and 0.010 respectively) whilst general hypertension was marginally associated with lower As_water (p-value = 0.043). Due to limitations regarding study design and residual confounding, all observed marginal associations should be treated with caution.]]> Thu 27 Oct 2022 09:13:21 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:56045 Thu 25 Jul 2024 17:49:17 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30318 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:51 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38834 Mon 29 Jul 2024 17:57:34 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36508 Rhodopseudomonas palustris C₁ and Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus C₃₁ to ameliorate As toxicity and to reduce As uptake in rice. Strain C₁ was superior to strain C₃₁ for siderophore production. The mixed culture (1: 1) was most effective in reducing the toxicity of As species [As(III) and/or As(V), each 30 mg/l] by yielding maximal germination index that related to α- and β-amylase activities in two Thai rice cultivars (HomNil: HN and PathumThani 1: PT). Arsenic toxicity to the seed germination followed the order: mixed As species > As(III) > As(V); and the toxicity was reduced in inoculated sets, particularly with a mixed culture. The mixed culture significantly enhanced rice growth under As stress in both rice cultivars as indicated by an increase in the production of chlorophyll a and b, and also supporting the non-enzymatic (carotenoids, lipid oxidation, and nitric oxide) and enzymatic (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and glutathione reductase) activities. These were concomitant with productions of 5-aminolevulinic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, exopolymeric substances, and siderophores which significantly reduced As accumulation in treated rice. It can be concluded that the mixed culture has great potential to ameliorate rice from As toxicity by preventing As species entry into rice for enhancing rice growth and also for reducing As accumulation to produce safe rice from rice grown in contaminated paddy fields.]]> Mon 25 May 2020 12:29:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32809 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:39:40 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18695 Mon 20 Jul 2015 17:48:33 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49677 Fri 26 May 2023 16:45:41 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46387 Fri 25 Nov 2022 11:01:07 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41080 Fri 22 Jul 2022 17:04:21 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53097 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:33:14 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54822 Fri 15 Mar 2024 08:36:58 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39997 n = 144) were collected from the markets of 16 districts of Bangladesh to determine the distribution, regional variability and associated health risk from Cd. The mean and median concentrations of Cd in rice were 44 μg/kg and 34 μg/kg, respectively, ranging between 1 and 180 μg/kg, dry weight. The Cd concentrations of the rice samples did not exceed the safe limit of EU/CODEX but 9% exceeded the safe limit of FSANZ (Food standards Australia New Zealand) values. Results indicated that there were significant variations of Cd among (33%) and within (67%) the districts. Some rice brands such as Najirshail, Katarivogh and Chinigura had Cd levels of 81, 70 and 68 μg/kg, respectively.
