Poisonous Drinking Water
Arsenic is poisoning one hundred million people around the world
Arsenic is slowly poisoning one hundred million people around the world by making its way from the ground into drinking water. This programme focuses on Cambodia, where arsenic poisoning is a relatively recent problem and is thought to result from the newly made wells.
Also on the show, the Italian children with mental and physical disabilities receiving donkey therapy; an investigation into the major outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo; the health risks caused by a mining for gold; research on how paying health carers more money leads to healthier patients.
