Personal protective equipment is not mandatory in places where tourists can get to. Unless they eat something, stay downwind from burning vegetation or take dust baths, worst case scenario is that they'll have to discard clothes and take cold shower at checkpoint.
People who sneak in without guides and past checkpoints are at risk of stumbling into a hot spot that wasn't cleaned up, but most of them seem to have at least a cheap Geiger counter and enough sense to walk away from places where it goes crazy. Their risk of getting cancer is probably still lower than risk of getting a brick through the skull while they play stalker in a building that wasn't maintained for 30 years.
