For sure, but there are places in Germany and everywhere in Europe where you shouldn’t be eating or drinking anything that comes out of the ground because of coal emissions, and places you can’t do anything in because of the gigantic coal mines. And that’s still currently happening and will keep happening for the foreseeable future.
The key word is “Should” in that sentence. Coal emits tons of mercury and other heavy metals, plus the radioactive emissions. And all the other harmful particles and gases.
It would be extremely naive to think that even if there is no official ban, it’s safe to eat and live downwind from a coal power plant.

Also open pit coal mines:
