Thanks for the post, that's all really great information (I just have a stats background, not a physicist/chemist). My immediate concern based on what you said, and not to go off on a tangent here, would actually be for the bees. You mentioned that it is the frequency and not intensity that matters for humans - is it the same case for the animals/insects that are sensitive to the frequencies? If we are effectively shining flashlights in their faces, increasing the intensity with each successive generation of wireless, can it eventually affect their ability to pollinate? Birds pollinate as well, to a lesser extent, so it would be the same concern here, on top of the pest control and general ecosystem balance that they provide.

The short answer is I don’t know, but if I read your question correctly I suspect the answer is “not much impact, if any.” Cell transmission towers would be dangerous at close range, but cell phones themselves would be like flashlights as you say, but not bright ones, and probably not noticeable at all, except at very close range. They’re not listening to these frequencies. I would think it perhaps analogous to ultrasound. Our electronics are giving off all sorts of ultrasonic noise that we can’t hear (but sometimes annoy dogs and millennials). We have ears capable of hearing, but not at those frequencies. But you could nevertheless expect hearing loss if you put a 1kW ultrasonic beacon right next to your ear.
