Notre Dame Fire Wakes the World up to Dangers of Lead Dust

Associated Press

   PARIS - It took a blaze that nearly destroyed Paris' most famous
   cathedral to reveal a gap in global safety regulations for lead, a
   toxic building material found across many historic cities.

   After the Notre Dame fire in April spewed dozens of tons of toxic
   lead-dust into the atmosphere in just a few hours, Paris authorities
   discovered a problem with the city's public safety regulations: There
   was no threshold for them to gauge how dangerous the potentially-deadly
   pollution was from the dust that settled on the ground.
