Streets around Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris are shut down to be decontaminated for lead

City officials in Paris shut down the streets surrounding the Notre Dame Cathedral to begin decontaminating the area for high levels of lead

The Notre Dame Cathedral caught fire on April 15, destroying the structure's spires and parts of the roof. Tons of lead from the structure melted from the fire, and the particles spread to the surrounding areas.

"Our priority is to prevent any risk to employees working on the site," Paris prefect Michel Cabot said."With new safety protocols and the delivery of two new decontamination units, the quality of lead decontamination of workers, machinery and equipment will be optimized. Thus, the site will continue to be safely ramped up.
