17 other were affected, but not at a long-term risk to life level.

To date, 733 people other than Litvinenko have been tested. Of those, 716 were considered to be at no risk of developing illnesses related to polonium-210. Seventeen were contaminated to above average levels but the HPA say that, for them, "any increased [health] risk in the long term is likely to be very small".
