Abstract : Inorganic arsenic (As) is a chronic, non-threshold carcinogen. Rice grain and rice-based products can be the
major source of Asi for many subpopulations. Present study has been evaluated the As concentration in rice grains from
Ambagarh Chowki, India. Twenty two village grown rice samples were collected and Arsenic species including As(III),
As(V), MMA and DMA were separated and determined by ICP-MS method. The mean concentration of total arsenic in rice
samples was 101.2 ± 57.2 μg/kg. The dominant species detected in rice samples was As(III), following DMA, As(V) and
MMA. The Pearson's correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between As(III) and total arsenic
(r = 0.923, p < 0.01), and DMA and total arsenic (r = 0.811, p < 0.01). However, the percentage of As(III) decreased with the
total arsenic concentration in rice (r = − 0.115, p < 0.01). High levels of the arsenic in rice grains were observed in west part
of Ambagarh Chowki regions associated with mining leakage activities. The cancer risk and hazard quotient were employed
to estimate the potential human health risk. The results suggested great carcinogenic risk and high potential non-carcinogenic
risk to people.
