Is there a claim in my post you're trying to refute? I didn't see any.

Your original post was inaccurate at least in this point:

> We all had to take iodine pills for long time.

Now lets make a claim - living in high background radiation city in Poland is much worse than Chernobyl exposure even if we look at 1 year period.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16575762/

In Poland the mean effective equivalent dose resulting from Chernobyl accident was 932 microSv and is close to the limited dose permitted in Poland, equalling 1 mSv/year.

So according to original article I cited (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3526327/) living in Jelenia Góra (4.75mSv/year) with high background radiation is ~3 Chernobyl doses per year every year vs living in Świnoujście (1.06mSv/year).
