Someone should tell politicians about how radio waves propagate and the inverse square law: the cellphone kept in their pocket, very often more than one, expose them to a lot stronger EM fields than any tower they might have nearby.
Or maybe they already know that, but banning or imposing restrictions on cellphones would destroy their careers.

So regardless of whether this is something to worry about, it's aready covered by existing legislation. Cellpone towers are also different in that you can't choose not to expose yourself to them. In contrast you can choose not to get a mobile.
