If you want caution on something WITH a causal link - don’t eat cooked food!

Just to be clear, I don't think that low-power EM radiation poses a health risk. I am just saying that if you are worried about it (like OP is) you can simply reduce your exposure to it. Doing so is relatively easy and has a minimal quality of life impact. As others have mentioned, low-power EM radiation in the frequency range used by cellphones is non-ionizing, so it can't cause cancer or severe health issues in the same way that ionizing radiation can.
My point is that if OP cares about those risks, they'd prioritize other higher risks first, and they'd run out of quality of life long before they got to this one.
