Researchers warn that 00:09:28.529 --> 00:09:31.549 climate change will make rice increasingly toxic 00:09:31.549 --> 00:09:34.649 due to rising temperatures and elevated carbon 00:09:34.649 --> 00:09:37.830 dioxide levels, potentially threatening billions 00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:41.649 of people with cancers and other diseases. According 00:09:41.649 --> 00:09:44.350 to a study published in the Lancet Planetary 00:09:44.350 --> 00:09:47.370 Health, rice absorbs high levels of arsenic. 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:52.820 a potent carcinogen. Louis Siska, a plant physiologist, 00:09:53.139 --> 00:09:56.080 led a team that found increased carbon dioxide 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.320 in temperature led to higher arsenic levels in 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.240 rice grains. This poses significant health risks, 00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:06.919 especially for infants. The study emphasizes 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.039 the urgent need for regulatory action and potential 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.419 interventions to mitigate arsenic exposure from 00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:20.679 rice.
