                                Arsenic is naturally present in soil and groundwater, and a 2018 study comparing arsenic levels globally found that US-grown rice had significantly higher levels than rice from India and Pakistan. This element can be absorbed by plants and animals, and in its inorganic form, poses a health risk from long-term exposure, particularly from certain food sources like rice.
