"China said it will conduct nationwide sampling of soil in order to map pollution levels across the country following recent revelations that portions of the country's rice supply were tainted with the toxic metal cadmium."
"The presence of heavy metals, such as cadmium, in staple foods like rice has spurred rising anxiety in recent weeks. The results of a government test released last month, in the southern city of Guangzhou, suggested nearly half the rice sold in the city was tainted by cadmium. Two subsequent local-government surveys of broader southern Guangdong province, of which Guangzhou is the capital, showed tainted rice levels of 5.8% and 1.4% of provincial supplies."
"Major factors causing soil contamination in China include improper dumping of industrial waste and over application of fertilizer, environmental scholars say."Wall Street Journal
