The Chemical Scythe follows the investigations into the link between organophosphate chemicals used for sheep dipping and nerve gas.
The law made it mandatory to dip sheep, resulting in farmers and farm workers coming into contact with potentially harmful substances. Many of them went on to develop ill health.
The Chemical Scythe is part of the BBC documentary series, Disaster - series 1 exploring the topic of health and safety.
