Introductory Remarks

Collision Course. 30:00 minutes. Around 85% of deaths from road traffic crashes occur in developing countries, costing them between 1-1.5% of their annual GNP. Without action, and with the growing number of cars on the roads in thriving new middle-income countries like India and Brazil, road deaths and disabilities are likely to rise still further.Through the eyes of road campaigner Harman Sidhu, who is himself a paraplegic after a road crash, this special Life program looks at the current situation in both countries - and reviews what positive steps are being taken to confront this serious health issue

Homo Toxicus. 30:00 minutes. Explores the links between the hundreds of toxic pollutants in our environment and increasing health problems
