Areas near Notre Dame to remain closed due to elevated lead levels
1 / 8In this image made available on Tuesday April 16, 2019 flames and smoke rise from the blaze after the spire toppled over on Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, Monday, April 15, 2019.
The fire sent large amounts of lead into the air because hundreds of tons of the metal were used in Notre Dame's frame, as well as the church spire that burned and collapsed. Paris police have advised residents and shopkeepers around Notre Dame to remove any surface dust they see with wet wipes. The city's police force said in a statement Saturday that no cases of lead poisoning have been reported since the April 15 fire but most health risks come from long-term exposure.
