  • A ballet teacher, Marina Litvinenko was confirmed as having shown traces of polonium, but she was showing no ill effects and did not need hospital treatment, family friend Alex Goldfarb said. "She has never been in the hospital," Goldfarb told The Associated Press. "She was told that she had minuscule amounts of radioactivity which is totally not considered a health hazard."
