Any views?

Well I would say that if mobile phones are eventually proven to be bad
for your health, it is most likely to be the phone itself that is the
culprit rather than the mast mounted tx at the local school etc; a
point that still has not been made by the media or, it seems, anyone
providing them with information.

It is probably worth noting that, in my experience, most children use
their mobiles almost exclusively for 'texting' rather than 'talking';
presumably this carries significantly less risk perceived or otherwise.

I agree. Proximity is the dominant factor at work here. That's why
these scare stories about mobile phone masts and cancer are such
total nonsense.
There may well be some significant risk associated with the
conventional use of mobiles right next to the head, though. The EM
field is bound to invade brain tissue and the effects of such exposure
to even low levels of near-microwave frequencies are as yet not fully
known.
