It follows the inverse square law, basically.  But, the cell phones are
typically 100 milliWatts; whereas, the broadcast signals are in the megaWatt
range.

There are levels considered safe for non-ionizing radiation; however, those
numbers vary from country to country.  For example, Russia considers safe
levels which are 100 times less than what we consider safe.  Truth is, no
one really knows what is a safe level.
