Unfortunately, we are surround by all sorts of pollutants.

There is also some radiation form  computers and electric static and we get some radiation from any electrical equipment.

Use your mobile phone as little as possible if you do feel any discomfort.  I have one for emergency use only and it was great to have been able to contact someone for help when my car tyre suddenly burst during one journey (twice).

When mobile telephones first came out, there was a lot of publicity about them discharging radiation and using a mobile phone was likely to cause brain problems.  

My landline telephone has not been working over the weekend due to cable problems and I have felt very isolated.  I do remember a time where there were no phones in houses and only 1 telephone box in a small village.

Things also pick up static and that can affect us too.  Have you ever had an electric shock from a supermarket trolley?  Yes it does happen.

I only have a personal opinion, and that is the danger from cell-phones is overblown, and must be weighed against the tremendous increase in safety provided by these phones in the event of a crime, an accident, or a requirement for medical assistance by an elderly individual.  Nowadays the number of pay phones have diminished and in many cities (New York) fire alarm boxes have been eliminated. "Crying Wolf" has an effect. An eighty-five year old I know, living alone, refuses a cell phone because of these scare campaigns. There is risk-benefit in every aspect of life, and by and large, the benefits of a cell phone far outweigh the risks.
