The "arsenic theory" is the latest in a series of explanations offered to explain the condition known as Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Origin, or CKDU, which has for years afflicted the largely farming communities in the province.
Earier research linked CKDU to doses of cadmium in the soil and the consumption of freshwater fish taken from polluted waters, but recent finds point to the extensive use of agro-chemicals, which have polluted waterways. The new findings have left the farming community feeling helpless and confused, but also unable to break their heavy dependence on agro-chemicals.
"I believe agro-chemicals have caused our kidney problems, but we are dependent on these chemicals," said K. A. Sumathipala, who has farmed the land in Sripura. This area too has been identified as having a high CKDU presence.
Dr. Chintaka Wijewardene of the Sripura Divisional Hospital is a member of the team of University of Kelaniya researchers who noted that imported agro-chemicals with arsenic content had mixed with water and converted to calcium arsenate, the cause of kidney diseases. The Government has dismissed the findings.
"I have served here for two-and-a-half years, and in that time I have detected more than 300 kidney disease cases. And the symptoms convince me that arsenic poisoning is the culprit," Dr. Wijewardene told the Sunday Times.
