That's in the same order of magnitude as these as these NIH results. Yes. This is worrisome. The FCC limit is 1.6W/Kg.[1] Neural damage was observed in mice at 4W/Kg. Several high-end smartphones from Apple and Google get above 1W/Kg. Those are worst-case numbers for smartphones, says the FCC. Average values are lower. Worst case for cumulative transmit energy would probably be sustained heavy upload traffic, such as streaming outgoing HD video. Transmit power is highest when near the range limit for a cell tower, since the handset increases power when more range is needed.

Yeah, in addition to the inverse square law, devices also have a higher noise floor from adjacent devices broadcasting at higher power.
This is why banning microcells to "stop the dangers of 4G from harming our children" just increases the Tx power and SAR by orders of magnitude. But you can't argue with these people.
