Each driver rated 0 (none) to 10 (worst)
Evidence strength: moderate · Detox Score = 100 − hazard×4.6 − exposure×3.4 − persistence×2.6, clamped 1–100.
A Detox Score of 58 places white rice (arsenic) in the Moderate band. None of the three drivers is severe, which keeps the burden manageable. Rice takes up inorganic arsenic from soil and water. Rinsing and cooking in a high water-to-rice ratio removes a meaningful share.
