In this Aug. 7, 2013, file photo, farmer Ben Burgess carries a type of low-yield rice from a rice field near Coy, Ark. The Food and Drug Administration says consumers shouldn't worry too much about levels of arsenic in rice â but should vary their diets just in case. The agency released a study Friday, Sept. 6, 2013, of arsenic in 1,300 samples of rice and rice products, the largest study to date looking at the carcinogen's presence in that grain. Consumer groups have pressured the FDA to set a standard for the amount of arsenic that can be present in rice products.

A car gives off exhaust in Montpelier, Vt., Monday, March 2, 2007. Vermont is a big winner in two major environmental decisions handed down today by the U.S. Supreme Court. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas linked to global climate change, but the Environmental Protection Agency had been resisting calls to regulate the amount of it coming from vehicle tailpipes. Vermont had joined Massachusetts and other parties in suing to get the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant. Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell says the decision is a major boost for the state, which the car industry is suing for trying to regulate carbon emissions from vehicles.
