Actually, a large part of the radioactivity is in the form of C-14 in carbon dioxide which is unaffected by filters.

'Large part'? Numbers, please.
C-14 is not much contained in old fossil fuels due to radioactive decay. The literature also discusses the Suess effect, which shows that coal power plant reduced the effect of C-14.
