Pregnant women and children living close to the Notre-Dame cathedral are being urged to get blood tests after a child was found to have high lead levels following the April fires.
Some of the hundreds of tonnes of lead in the spire and the roof melted in the fire on April 15th, seeping into the air and ground around the cathedral.
Families with children under the age of 7 and pregnant women in the area are being urged to see their GP for testing as a precaution while the Paris regional health authority investigate the cause of the high lead levels.
