The world is full of dilute "poisons", and the whole reason we're able to live healthy lives is because they are dilute and not concentrated.
Lots of pollutants are made much less harmful by way of dilution. Radon gas that seeps up from the ground is diluted into the atmosphere by vents in the home.
Dilution is the only reasonable way to mitigate the mess from Chernobyl. You can't contain it since it's spread out and already in the environment.
