I don't normally bother to soak rice overnight. I believe you can get rid of most arsenic etc by changing the water once or twice during the boil. A final rinse in hot water before serving is good. I mostly eat long brain brown rice which contains more contaminants in the bran and so this purification method is important to reduce one's intake of bad s*t. Eating organic rice is good but doesn't mean it's uncontaminated.
