Micro pollutants in Rice & Cereals
The main objective of this project is to investigate micro pollutants in rice and cereals in Sri Lanka. Field samples and market samples will be analyzed in grains, soil, water, roots, leaves and straw.
Emerging Chronic Kidney Disease Among Sugarcane Farmers in Sri Lanka.
The main objective of this project is to investigate the emerging CKDu in Southern and Uva provinces in Sri Lanka with reference to causative factors, disease prevalence and developing tools for early detection.
Effects on heavy metals Earthworms
The main objective is to investigate the heavy metal effects on earthworms under tropical conditions. Classical toxicity tests together with structural and functional endpoints will be used to develop test guidelines for the tropical countries.
