I've been following this debate for a long time, and it's definitely not settled science.

In fact The Lancet just published this article:

"Planetary electromagnetic pollution: it is time to assess its impact" https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5...

There is plenty of evidence of non-thermal and non-ionizing biological effects [1]. The problem is at the moment most people are focused on cancer, when in fact there are a lot of other published effects that need to be looked into.

ICNIRP and FCC are both focused solely on thermal effects, with human modeling as a blob of jelly, when the latest science shows there also exists non-thermal effects on a cellular and bio-molecular level.
