Arsenic contamination in rice: a DPSIR analysis with a focus on top rice producers by Hasa Ali Abdulla (21437420)

“…The DPSIR analysis revealed that socioeconomic factors, including population growth and industrialization, were the primary driving forces behind arsenic contamination in rice. These factors increased pressures such as reliance on arsenic-contaminated irrigation water, historical pesticide use, and industrial pollution, which contributed to arsenic accumulation in rice-growing environments. …”
