If this were a problem, would it not have been spotted when the UHF

Isn't the radiation more intense when the signal is generated right
next to your scull? I wouldn't know but that is what I heard. Cell
phones are low powered but they are held right up against the head.

From what a former colleague (he was a GSM/Cell phone equipment trainer
(i.e. transmitter and switching equipment, so NOT the mobiles
there-self)) of me (at former AT&T/Lucent Technogies) years ago told me,
was that it was not wise to climb in the pole due to high radiation
levels, where the antenna was attached; as this could be compared to
frying something in an unprotected microwave oven, but that according to
him the mobiles them-selfs were not dangerous due to the low radiation
level.
