Rice is eaten by people around the world in their normal diets. However, besides its nutrients value, rice may have small quantities of arsenic, which can invite many deadly diseases. Researchers have discovered that warmer temperatures can result in a higher amount of arsenic in rice crops. Arsenic exists in the soil naturally, but its concentration is higher in areas that have traditionally used arsenic-based pesticides. When farmers grow rice under flooded conditions, arsenic gets removed from the soil and flows into the water. Rising arsenic levels can decrease crop yield which will economically impact rice farmers.
