Leonid Rikhvanov of the Department of Geoecology and Geochemistry, a professor at Tomsk Polytechnic University, said in a statement that radon gas released from the mine could be the cause of the symptoms.

 

Affected people fall asleep during day-to-day activities and always feel sleepy. One of the doctors said, "You wake them up, they can talk to you, answer you, but as soon as you stop talking and ask what bothers them, they just go to sleep, Want to sleep, want to sleep."

Kazakh officials have reported on the disease, saying that increased levels of carbon monoxide, along with other hydrocarbons, caused sleepy hollows to spread through the village air due to flooding at an abandoned Soviet-era uranium mine. are becoming. 

 

The real cause of sleeping sickness in these villages was found to be carbon monoxide and low oxygen in the air.
