3 Designated sites for soil dressing in Japan (2008) (Main cause of pollution in paddy fields) Mine wastes have flowed into rivers and then into paddy fields as irrigation water. (Domestic criterion of in Japan) - 1 mg kg -1 of brown rice (1970) 0.4 mg kg -1 of rice (polished and unpolished rice) (2011) (Survey on grain level in Japan ) 0.3 % of total samples > 0.4 mg kg -1 (n=37,250 MAFF 2002) (Potentially low -contaminated area ) 40,000 ha

4 µg kg -1 body weight per week Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake (PTWI) : 7.0µg kg -1 body weight per week Total diet : 3.0µg kg -1 body weight per week The others Fishes and shellfishes Vegetables and sea weeds Brightly colored vegetables Pulse and its products Wheat and tuber Provisional Tolerable Monthly Intake (PTWI) : 25 µg kg -1 body weight per month Rice and rice products Dietary intake of for the Japanese people (2004)

6 Promising techniques for reducing contamination in rice - Soil washing - Soil washing is a mechanical process that uses extracting chemicals to remove hazardous metals from soils into aqueous solution.

9 Promising techniques for reducing contamination in rice - Phytoextraction - Phytoextraction is a kind of phytoremediation that use plants to remove the heavy metals from soils.

20 Summary We developed three new technologies (soil washing, phyto-extraction, and low- rice) for reducing rice contamination. All techniques are very reliable and would be applicable to other countries in monsoon Asia. If you have very interested in these techniques and obtain more detail, please contact us.
