21 children were poisoned with lead in a 19th arrondissement building in Paris. Ironically, it was during the cleanup that the young tenants were most contaminated. It is the methods used in cleaning that have led to an increase in cases of lead poisoning.

The pediatrics department of the Roubaix hospital treats children for lead poisoning. A disease developed by eating old paint chips that contain lead salts but are sweet.
