Health Hazards

Do you know much about the potential health hazards of building with Coal Ash and Gypsum produced from an FGD?

Coal Ash can contain Uranium and Gypsum contains Mercury that was in the Coal. Does the Uranium find its way into the Concrete? And if so how much of a dose would someone receive from living in a house made from it? As for the Mercury could it be released to cause problems for residents or tradesmen drilling into walls?
