Brain Poison
In the United States researchers have reported that very low levels of lead -from car exhaust fumes perhaps, or tinned food - can change children's behaviour. Tiny amounts may produce children who can't sit still, can't concentrate and are prone to violence - and by tiny amounts is meant the quantities they can pick up on an ice cream or a handful of sticky sweets from the dust in our streets and homes.
Yet in this country this research with its frightening implications has so far been open to question. Doubts have been voiced about the way the experiments were handled, conflicting evidence has been produced from other sources. Meanwhile, as the scientific debate continues so does the exposure to lead. Tonight's Horizon follows one authority, Birmingham City Council (who have particular reasons to be concerned about lead in the environment) as it tries to unravel the conflicting evidence and decide what to do about it.
