I looked into this recently in order to gather enough facts to educate an aunt who wasn't a 5g conspiracy person, they just asked "how do you know that it's safe?", which is always a fair question. I wrote a post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24103096 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24103096 But the TLDR is that (in the example of 5G), the power levels were talking about amount to ~300,000x less power than what would be required to irritate your skin in a minor way. Of course, it's always complex because sure, stick your hand in to a transformer and electromagnetism will do plenty of damage to you. Being against 5G or power stations because EMF "can do damage" is a bit like banning cars because jumping in front of a car "can do damage", except cars are _far_ more lethal and far less helpful than signal-carrying cables.
