Which outcome occurs when radioactive strontium-90 accumulates in bone?

💡 Explanation

Strontium-90 undergoes Beta decay, emitting radiation near bone marrow because it's chemically similar to calcium. This causes cellular damage within the marrow; therefore, increased strontium-90 accumulation increases the risk of marrow failure, rather than stimulating growth or increasing calcium absorption.
