Editing Eiffel Tower (section)

===Maintenance===
Maintenance of the tower includes applying 60&nbsp;tons of paint every 7 years to prevent it from [[rust]]ing. The tower has been completely repainted at least 19 times<!-- as of 2024 --> since it was built, with the most recent being in 2010. [[Lead paint]] was still being used as recently as 2001 when the practice was stopped out of concern for the environment.<ref name="allyouneed">{{cite web|url=http://www.eiffel-tower.com/images/PDF/about_the_Eiffel_Tower.pdf|title=All you need to know about the Eiffel Tower|author=SETE|website=Official Eiffel Tower website|access-date=15 April 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Bavelier|first=Ariane|url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/culture/2009/03/28/03004-20090328ARTFIG00210-coup-de-pinceau-sur-la-tour-eiffel-.php|title=Coup de pinceau sur la tour Eiffel|date=3 December 2013|work=Lefigaro|access-date=28 March 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240524-eiffel-tower-ticket-prices-to-rise-by-20-percent|title=Eiffel Tower ticket prices to rise by 20 percent |date=24 May 2024 |work=France 24 |access-date=25 May 2024}}</ref>
