INTERVIEW
The clean-up work around Notre-Dame de Paris should theoretically end on 23 August. Meanwhile, the construction site remains suspended, the Regional Health Authority has found lead levels - disseminated around the building following the fire on April 15 - up to 260 times higher than alert threshold. For Anne Souyris, EELV assistant at the Paris City Hall, in charge of Health, the anxiety generated by this pollution must now feed a wider awareness of the role of lead in the public space.
"We must rely on the learning of Notre-Dame, this unfortunate event, to do something good that allows Parisians, Parisians and all those who come to Paris to free themselves from lead," he said. she said Saturday at the microphone of François Geffrier, on Europe 1. "There is a subject that we [the mayor of Paris, Ed ] will approach in September, which is not sufficiently watched by the authorities in France and in Paris: the question of lead in the public space. "
"We must realize that there is lead in the city for a long time.The entire Haussmannian building is full of lead," says this elected. "We may not have been vigilant enough, even at the level of state standards."
