As someone who's dug a few ditches in my day, I'll testify that dry dirt is pretty easy to inhale.
The story here seems to be tanks driving off the roads, not the digging at the camp site.
Do you have another position for the trenches?

Maybe not enough to hurt you, but that depends entirely on how spicy it is.
People without acute radiation syndrome / radiation poisoning can still face significant long term health effects. So yea nobody’s hair was falling out, but they still had sufficient radiation exposure to have long term impacts.
However, these are also soldiers in a war. Their risks of being shot or bombed etc drastically outweigh the risks from radiation here.
Radiation exposure isn’t binary.
We’d have to know the type, intensity, and duration to make predictions about any possible expected adverse health outcomes.
People found out through researching what and where these people dug into the soil roughly what their long term heal impacts where.
You're going to have to source that argument, because there's an awful lot of evidence of Russian-dug trenches there.
That's a far cry from "OMG PROPAGANDA!"
The main point, of course, is how reckless and stupid it was.
I'm more inclined to believe the IAEA. Also,
>They concluded that the radiation levels where the soldiers camped were three times what the IAEA reported
Three times more is not much when talking about radiation. Flying in a plane exposes you to about that much more radiation compared with being on the ground at sea level.
