London - Seven staff working in a London
hotel bar visited by former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko drank
before he died from radiation poisoning, have been found to have
traces of polonium 210, a public health agency said on Thursday.
"Preliminary results received from seven members of staff
working in The Pine Bar of the Millennium Hotel on November 1 show
that they appear to have been exposed to low levels of polonium
210," the health protection agency said.
"There is no health risk in the short term and in the long
term the risk is judged to be very small on the basis of initial
tests," it said.
