Potential toxic metals from natural and anthropogenic sources accumulate in soil and plants, and represent important environmental contamination challenges. The ecological and human health risks of the potential toxic metals in rice grain, paddy soil, and rice plants of Omor rice field were assessed. The total metal concentration from the four sampling sections (mg/kg) were soil—Zn (29.51 ± 2.23), Mn (55.27 ± 8.10), Cd (5.49 ± 2.24), Cu (2.94 ± 1.47), Pb (14.35 ± 6.54), and Cr (27.06 ± 8.31); rice grain—Zn (21.70 ± 5.44), Mn (3.30 ± 0.21), Cd (00.14 ± 0.11), Cu (2.80 ± 0.34), Pb (11.98 ± 0.58), and Cr (15.86 ± 2.79); and for rice plant—Zn (5.24 ± 1.93), Mn (4.68 ± 1.91), Cd (0.21 ± 0.11), Cu (4.88 ± 0.61), Pb (15.24 ± 6.16), and Cr (46.5 ± 6.05). The estimated daily intakes for adult showed that Cd and Pb exceeded the safe limit by 1% and 93%, respectively. The metal hazard quotients (Zn-0.0007, Mn-0.00019, Cd-0.16, Cu-0.19, and Cr-0.0000077) were less than 1 indicating no probable health risk originating from their exposure. The total hazard index (0.35) also suggests no probable health risk connected with the rice consumption. The metals' ecological risk indices of the soil showed low-risk (< 40), except Cd in some sections of the rice field which indicated moderate potential ecological risk (40—80). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
