  ABSTRACT: The drinking water and food are main pathway entry of the As in humans and animals. Their in-takes cause diseases i.e. skin cancer, vascular disorder, etc. A wide variety of the rice is cultivated in the central India. The field soil and rice cultivated in the summer season at Koudikasa village, central India were selected for the As contamination studies. The concentration (n = 20) of total- As (AsT) in the field soil, rice grain, husk, straw and root was ranged from 44 - 270, 0.17 - 0.72, 0.40 - 1.58, 2.5 - 5.9 and 204 - 354 mg/kg with mean value of 126 ± 28, 0.47 ± 0.07, 0.83 ± 0.15, 4.2 ± 0.5 and 276 ± 21 mg/kg, respectively. The total arsenic, monomethylarsenonate, dimethylarsinite and inorganic As in the rice grain are quantified.
