No sign of widespread environmental impacts after U.S. attacks
Briefly

Following the U.S. attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed no signs of radiation or contamination beyond the target areas. Director General Rafael Grossi stated that, at this time, there are no expected health risks for people or the environment. Experts noted that the types of uranium present in these facilities pose a low hazard, and their gaseous form limits potential environmental spread. Previous incidents showed no changes in external radioactivity levels, reinforcing the assessment of minimal impact on public safety.
As of this time, we don't expect that there will be any health consequences for people or the environment outside the targeted sites.
There's not a significant, dire health threat if those materials got released to the environment.
The gas doesn't travel far through the air. When a container ruptures, the big and heavy gas stays close to the ground.
The level of radioactivity outside the site remained unchanged and at normal levels, indicating no external radiological impact from this event.
