Burning coal produces ash with low-level radiation, however, almost every coal plant in the US in the past 15 years was forced to retrofit to capture ash and the only things emitted are water vapor and CO2.

Most of the contamination in the study is from previous decades.

I'm not suggesting we should keep burning coal, just clarifying.
