Lead fears prompt new cleanup rules, equipment at Notre Dame
1 / 3France Notre DameScaffolding platforms are set up at Notre Dame Cathedral, in Paris, Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019, as the preliminary work begins to repair the fire damage. PARIS — Cleanup work at fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral will resume later this month but under stricter lead-protection rules, amid growing public concern about toxic pollution.
Critics say authorities didn't move fast enough to protect workers and residents when the cathedral's massive lead roof and spire melted in the April fire, spewing toxic dust into the Paris air. No dangerous levels have been registered, however, in nearby streets, where tourists and residents continue to circulate and souvenir shops and restaurants have reopened.
