| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
According to the measurement results of cadmium, lead, chromium and arsenic in drinking water, rice, tea leaves and urine, it was concluded that cadmium, lead, chromium and arsenic were not the cause of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) prevailing in Sri Lanka. The diagnostic of the CKDu was consistent with that of neonicotinoid poisoning; however, the conclusive evidence of the relationship between neonicotinoid insecticides and CKDu was not found. A new electrolysis system using carbon electrodes to remove fluoride was installed in Anuradhapura to supply drinking water to the residents. The fluoride concentration was successfully reduced from 2.1 mg/L to 0.4 mg/L, which was well below the Sri Lankan standard of 1 mg/L. Two electrolysis systems using carbon electrodes followed by chicken bone char filters installed in Sri Lanka could remove fluoride to the level of 0 mg/L.
