Exposure to environmental arsenic (As) is a worldwide issue, especially in locations where rice is the main calorific content in the diet. Eating aromatic rice reduces environmental arsenic intake, according to results published in the journal of Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with inductively coupled plasma?mass spectrometry (HPLC?ICP?MS).
A panel of experts discuss the current state of the art of gas chromatography (GC) column technology and try to predict how the technology will develop in the future.
