Get the Lead Out
A sign next to the Seine was posted by the Paris government to inform people about the process of lead removal after the 2019 Notre Dame fire. A lot of controversy arose when areas near the cathedral were thought to contain unsafe levels of lead, especially areas frequented by children. The French word for lead is "plomb", which comes from a Latin word, and plumbers are so named because they used to work with lead pipes.
