Notre-Dame fire: Lead test call for pregnant women and children
Pregnant women and children living near the fire-ravaged Notre-Dame cathedral have been advised to take blood tests over fears of lead contamination.
The warning has been issued after tests showed a child from the Île de la Cité area of Paris had been exposed to lead.
Health authorities said lead levels in the child's blood exceeded regulatory limits.
Officials say that blaze that destroyed the cathedral on April 15 released toxic substances.
