Video Introduction

Why did people’s hair turn green? The mystery began in the town of Anderslöv, located on the very southern tip of Sweden. People started complaining that their hair was turning green. The 2012 Ig Nobel prize in Chemistry goes to Johan Pettersson of Sweden for determining why people in the town of Anderslöv were suffering from a strange epidemic of green hair. [1]
