I mean the radiation emmitted from Wi-Fi, cellular phones, Bluetooth, etc. The reason of asking this question is my own inestablished position. I saw multiple studies that it is dangerous, I saw special antennas to decrease the radiation risk. And I read several studies that reject any connection between wireless radiation and health risks.
What do you think?

I do know that in England kids are not allowed to use them any more. They decided that until the brain has finished growing they would not expose their children to the possibility of damage. So they seem to be pretty concerned about it. France and Germany ar looking at similar decisions. Something is going to have to be done soon anyway because we are overcrowding the airways with nuisance signals, that are interfering with ambulance, fire and police radios. There are now whole towns that have banned all cell phone use within their city limmits here in the U.S. You have to go outside of the city to make a cell phone call.
I hope they eventually phase out cell phones and find something else. I hate the things. I've almost been run down a few times while someone was chatting away as they were driving.

I will not discuss the influence of the distracting driving caused by mobile phone use (hands-free or not), as this is the topic for another discussion. The truth is that, so far, there is been no medical evidence suggesting that radiation from mobile phones might cause cancer or other health problems. But, at the same time there is no definite proof that cell phone radiation is harmless. Almost equal amount of scientific studies pointed on the pro- and con- outcomes. Definite, the studies, sponsored by technological companies, mostly voted for the lack of harm. But, also many independent studies came to the same conclusion.
Therefore, I would not jump to any conclusion at this point.
