Lead levels in imported rice samples varied from 0.76 to
2.00 mg kg–1. Maryam, Tajmahal and Abdoosaeid rice types presented
the highest mean levels against the other rice brands. The
mean values for lead in all imported samples were considerably
above the allowable limits (0.2 lg/g and 0.15 lg/g), as shown in
Fig. 2. Similar finding was reported by Mirlohi et al. (2013).
