This two year study will follow 300 patients with Stage 1 CKDu to evaluate correlations between disease progression, water quality in rice fields and well waters and other risk factors.
We were just awarded a grant by the Dominion Foundation to initiate a pCO2 time series at Avery Point to trach changes in water CO2. The time series will bededicated to undergraduate education and will provide unprecedented pCO2 data for the region.
