Madame Marie Curie is remembered for her pioneering work in the field of radiation research. Curie discovered the elements radiu
m and polonium and determined their atomic weights and their places in the periodic table. She was the first to discover methods for extracting pure radium salts and metal. Curie was also the first to use the term "radioactivity," and she developed methods for measuring radioactivity and its effect on living cells. As in the case of Marie Curie, prolonged exposure to radioactivity of any kind can lead to ALL BUT one of these results.
A) cancer.
B) death
C) leukemia
D) pneumonia
Pneumonia is not a result of prolonged radioactivity exposure, most especially regarding the cause of death of Marie Curie. In fact, pneumonia is primarily caused by bacteria and viruses infecting our lungs most specifically the alveoli. This alveoli gets filled with fluid, like water, that would cause extreme coughs.
