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.
