Poisonous Lead
Although the cathedral had a miraculous stroke of luck in that it was not completely destroyed, the damage to the city and its people may not have been as lucky. While Notre Dame’s roof burned, a significant amount of poisonous lead was released into the atmosphere as it melted. What’s worse is that it has still yet to be traced.
Lead On The Roof
Many structures around the world still have lead present. As it can be toxic, lead poisoning can cause both neurological and physical issues. Lead has also been linked to infertility, seizures, behavioral issues, and even death.
