The impact of the source of radiation on living organism depends on the wave length of this radiation, not only power. A light bulb and 5G antennas have very different wave lengths. You can say what you like but one thing is clear: there is absolutely no consensus among scientists that EM radiation from mobile phones has absolutely no negative influence on human health.

There is no consensus that a light bulb has absolutely no negative influence on human health. You receive much more radiation from these devices than cellphones. Radio is much lower frequency than light, once you get below the UV spectrum the only known effect that light and radio have is thermal, that is heating flesh, ie heat lamps, microwave ovens. Yet everyone walks around outside under orders of magnitude higher intensity radiation that has full scientific consensus to cause cancer without giving it much thought. I for one am not worried about my cellphone that has the power output of a led penlight.

  I understand your argumentation and I'm happy you're convinced, and I'd like to be, too. However, I did some checks on the people signed here: https://emfscientist.org/index.php/emf-scientist-appeal https://emfscientist.org/index.php/emf-scientist-appeal and at least some seem very serious, knowledgeable and definitely not lunatics.

THere is no consensus, but there is also a upper limit on the total damage. Epidemiologically, there isn't any strong evidence this radiation has influence enough for us to care. Every high quality study has found no effect or a tiny effect, much smaller than the total benefit of mobile phones. Many people publishing in this space aren't good at quantitative research and make common errors, yuet the mainstream media ends up publishing the "shocking" results and convincing people it's dangerous.
