In this second  Problem With Acid Attacks episode, we discuss the scientific achievements of two Irish schoolgirls and the verdict of the Derek Chauvin Trial. Henna updates us on a recent acid attack that occurred in New York in the last number of weeks. Annaig then explains the differences between the two most common types of acid used in attacks, their specific effects on the human body and how they can be treated. She then discusses the acid attack of Katy Piper; how it happened, how she recovered and her achievements post-assault. This is part 2 of this discussion, so be sure to listen to the previous episode to hear more on the topic.
