I’m not saying it’s fine, I’m saying it feels like an order of magnitude less of a concern compared to all of the other bad things that can happen from coal smoke.
You don’t have to worry about acute radiation sickness, but the stochastic effects are huge. It absolutely is a public health concern, in addition to the other health detriments of coal
