If you're talking about venting inside, house fires being a health concern, yes, it's a health hazard. If you have to vent your dryer inside, use a water trap; lint will build up in all sorts of places in your house; I worked on a house where the outlets were full of lint. That's a fire begging to start. It has to be vented outside.

I vent mine into the cellar into a bucket with water in it so any lint gets blown into the water. A gas drier produces more humidity than an electric. Humidity does create mold but I don't have any problems. Lint buildup can be a fire hazard. Gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide hazard if obstructed.

I take it by the question that you are venting back into the room. Let me say one word "Ewwww". This is moisture laden hot air that increases the humidity greatly in the house. Molds love that and will start to grow everywhere. That is the health concern. You are growning fungus

Not as long as you vent it to the outside. Don't be ghetto and try to heat your house with it or anything!
