Researchers warn that 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.320 climate change will make rice increasingly toxic 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.440 due to rising temperatures and elevated carbon 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.639 dioxide levels, potentially threatening billions 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.440 of people with cancers and other diseases. According 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.139 to a study published in the Lancet Planetary 00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:45.179 Health, rice absorbs high levels of arsenic. 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:50.620 a potent carcinogen. Louis Siska, a plant physiologist, 00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:53.879 led a team that found increased carbon dioxide 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.120 in temperature led to higher arsenic levels in 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:01.039 rice grains. This poses significant health risks, 00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:04.700 especially for infants. The study emphasizes 00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:07.840 the urgent need for regulatory action and potential 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.220 interventions to mitigate arsenic exposure from 00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:18.470 rice.
