Poison Water
The story of Britain's biggest mass poisoning, when a toxic cocktail poured out of the taps of up to 20,000 homes in northern Cornwall in 1988, changing lives for ever. What began with a misplaced delivery to a water treatment facility ended with people across a community consuming water with aluminium levels thousands of times higher than acceptable limits
