The bigget threat from "Dirty bombs" is more in peoples imagination. Unless you happen to be very close to the explosion (close enough that a normal bomb would be unhealthy too) about the only effect you'll get is a slight increase in the possibility of cancer. However, I'm sure you can all imagine what someplace like New York City would turn into once people heard that there was a dirty bomb, the resulting chaos would probably cause more problems then the actual bomb.
