Below is a physicist's take on the issue. Bob Park takes no prisoners!

2. WARNING! CELL PHONES ARE FOUND TO EMIT BULLSH*T.
 >From San Francisco to Maine there is a campaign to require cancer warning
labels on cell phones. Fact: cell phone radiation doesn’t cause cancer.
Cancer agents break chemical bonds, creating mutant strands of DNA.
Microwave photons cannot break chemical bonds. This is not debatable. In
1989, Paul Brodeur, a staff writer for the New Yorker, claimed in a series
of sensational articles that electromagnetic fields from power lines cause
childhood leukemia http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/WN89/wn082589.html .
Brodeur, however, understood none of this and when virtually every
scientist agreed that it was impossible, Brodeur took their unanimity as
proof of a massive cover-up. Other anti-science know-nothings followed
Brodeur’s lead, shifting their attack to cell phone radiation. Cell phones
have since spread to almost the entire population, but with no
corresponding increase in brain cancer. Case closed.
