    Abstract:

    Rice, after wheat, is one of the most important grains consumed by the people of the world, which is widely present in people's diet. Half of the world's population depends on rice as a staple food. There are many items of rice in the world and now rice is one of the strategic products of the country. Contamination of rice with heavy metals may be a serious threat to humans. Because they are not biodegradable and remain in the environment and enter the food chain. In this study, the concentration of heavy metals lead and cadmium as harmful metals and the concentration of zinc metal as a beneficial element were determined through atomic absorption spectroscopy according to AOAC guidelines on 8 white rice samples (4 of which are the most famous and most popular imported rice and 4 are Iranian rice grown in the northern coasts of the country). The results of this study show that the average concentration of lead in external samples is 0.0013±0.000000000000 mg/kg, internal samples are 0.0012±0.0002 mg/kg, and the average concentration of cadmium in foreign samples is 0.085±0.03 mg/kg, internal samples are 0.085±0.011 mg/kg, and the zinc concentration in samples External 14.95±95 mg/kg, internal samples 29.45±6.45 mg/kg. The average concentration of lead and cadmium in external and internal samples is almost equal and the average concentration of zinc in internal samples is higher than external samples. rtl;">Key words: rice, cadmium, lead, zinc

    1-1 - Statement of the problem:

    Rice is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and its origin is Southeast Asia, which occupies the largest area of ??cultivated land in the world after wheat, and plays a significant role in the nutrition of the people of the world and Iran, and about two-thirds of the required calories are more than It supplies more than two billion people of the population of the Asian continent. Currently, there are "tens of thousands of types of rice" in the world, but these are placed in two general subspecies. The two main subspecies include "japonica" rice with the scientific name Oryza sativa japonica and "indica" rice with the scientific name sativa indica. Rice is a plant that has early varieties (growing period 130 to 145 days), medium varieties (150 to 160 days) and late varieties (170 to 180 days). Some believe that the history of rice cultivation in Iran is at least more than 2500 years, and according to some other historians, during the time of Anushirvan, Barzoye Tabib brought this plant to Iran with gifts from India and it was cultivated in Kadosian province (Gilan and Mazandaran). Among the Iranian types, we can include Garde Sadri (including black tail, yellow tail, and red tail), Binam, Ali-Kazemi, Champa, etc. pointed out Sefidroud and Khazar are among the high-yielding varieties (Malkoti et al., 1383).

    Rice is a source of protein in the Asian continent. According to the FAO report, approximately 30% of the energy source and 20% of the protein source of the world's people are provided through the consumption of rice. Of course, it should be noted that with the increase in food sources contaminated with heavy metals and due to the property of the accumulation of these metals on the body tissue and its adverse effects on humans, it is better to use cleaner products (Malkutian et al., 2009). With regard to the ever-increasing population and to meet food needs, focusing on increasing the production per unit area is the most important strategy of the country in agriculture, so that all effective factors in production are used. In the World Food Declaration, soil fertility It has been mentioned as the key to food security and sustainable agriculture, and studies by FAO and researchers of the Soil and Water Research Institute have shown that in the fertilizer program, the increase in production up to 60% was due to the optimal use of fertilizer (Bilali, 1382). Currently, public pollution with heavy metals is increasing, and as a result, the accumulation of these metals in plants and animals, in addition to causing serious damage to the health of organisms, has made the consumption of their products dangerous for the final consumer, i.e., humans (Malkutian et al., 1389).

    Heavy metals in the soil are biologically available and easily transferred to plants.Almost all heavy fluorides have harmful effects on the body, some of these elements are lead, cadmium, and nickel. Even in small amounts, it is toxic and harmless to humans and causes various health problems such as kidney damage, bone damage, cancer, etc. (Ping et al., 2007). Cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metals available, which prevents the physiological process of the plant. Also, the International Research Agency (IARC) has introduced cadmium metal as a carciogenic agent, and this metal has been introduced as an important factor in causing kidney failure. Most of the rice is grown in the world, maybe it is not necessary. Regardless of the importance, rice in Iran is not covered by anyone, almost the entire northern green area of ??the country is covered with rice, and in the spring of the north, the nature of that area is covered by green and refreshing paddy fields. But behind this spectacular sight, there is another face. About 500 thousand hectares of rice cultivation in the north of the country and its fertilizer needs and lack of proper management show the second face. The sinister face of environmental pollution, health pollution and poisoned space is actually the second face of this nature. Northern farmers believed for many years that the consumption of more types of fertilizers and chemical poisons means more production, and when the shocking statistics of national and international health organizations announced the highest incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, especially cancer, in the north of the country compared to other regions, alarm bells were sounded. Taking its nutritional value and using the amount of micronutrients, especially zinc (Zn), are among the things that are necessary to achieve the above demands. The need to investigate and study the shortcomings of rice and to know the existing shortcomings and upcoming risks and to plan to eliminate all the shortcomings is inevitable. In this research, the contamination of domestic rice with heavy metals (cadmium and lead) and their harms and dangers to health and the sources of transfer of these metals to the plant have been investigated, as well as the comparison of the amount of these metals with imported high consumption rice. With the hope that with proper planning and efficient management, we can one day achieve self-sufficiency in the production of healthy rice by eliminating all the shortcomings of rice, including contamination with heavy metals.

    1-3- Objectives, hypotheses and research questions

    Research objectives (general objectives, specific objectives):

    Measuring the amount of heavy metals lead, cadmium and zinc in the types of rice available in the market (domestic and imported) by atomic absorption spectrometry method with oven ([1] GFAAS).

    Research hypotheses:

    1- The amount of heavy metals lead and cadmium in domestic rice in the market (Hashmi, Shiroudi, Tarem, organic) is more than the permissible limit of the Iranian standard.

    2- The amount of heavy metals The lead and cadmium of foreign rice available in the market (Indian sprout, Indian Mohsen, Indian Spring Sabz, a Pakistani type) is more than the permissible limit of Iran's standard. Imported rice is more than Iranian rice and supplies the plant's needs.
