Although we should always be studying potential risks, I have little concern.

Just keep it in perspective, you walk around outside under a nuclear fusion fireball receiving around 1000 watts of terahertz radiation some of it ionizing and known to cause cancer.

Wifi, Cell including 5G are in the Gigahertz range, non-ionizing, which means they can basically heat your flesh like a microwave and nothing more and are at milliwatt power levels from the phones transmitter and maybe a hundred watts from the towers transmitter.

This would be like worrying about what an led flashlight (the phone) or street light (the cell station) does to you.
