Cadmium contamination in rice exceeds national safety standards in polluted areas.

Ecological Assessment

Cadmium in milled rice from Fujian Province was studied to see its impact on human health. Samples showed Cd levels ranging from 0.001 to 1.158 mg·kg-1, with 5% exceeding safety standards. The health risk from Cd was found to be higher than recommended levels, indicating potential pollution risk. Late-season rice had more Cd than early and mid-season rice. This suggests that Cd in milled rice in Fujian Province could pose a health risk to consumers, requiring regular monitoring.
