Kazakhstani scientists have made significant progress in solving the mystery of the "sleeping" village of Kalachi, Deputy General Director of the National Nuclear Center of Radioecology (NNC) of Kazakhstan Sergey Lukashenko said.
According to him, the "sleeping disease’’ could be caused by a lack of oxygen in combination with a high content of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the air, RIA Novosti reports
Scientists have recently obtained the results of examinations of the soil, air and underground water taken from 12 wells of Kalachi. After that, the experts created a working version of the phenomenon of a "sleeping village", which will be tested in further research, Lukashenko said.
