LID - 10.1007/s12011-023-04004-4 [doi] AB - Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the essential staple foods highly consumed globally, with nearly 40% to 45% of the global population estimated to consume rice. Therefore, consumable rice should have low levels of harmful elements. This study investigates fluoride (F ) content in raw rice (uncooked rice) and evaluates Probabilistic Health Risk Assessment (PHRA) through Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) due to the consumption of F enriched rice. The literature review reveals that limited studies have been conducted on the investigation of F in raw rice. The fluoride (F ) concentration in raw rice varies across the studied countries, indicating the need for additional studies to facilitate a more accurate comparison. The F content in raw rice varied among the studied countries, making it difficult to definitively state that the concentration of F in one country is higher. However, the concentration of F in raw rice in India is notably elevated. This study also highlighted the importance of investigating the F content in raw rice. The study will be highly helpful for policymakers to formulate guidelines for water used for irrigation. CI - (c) 2023.
