The majority of the population of this country actually believe the 
silly scare stories promulgated by the press.  You'll actually be MUCH 
more seriously irradiated by going outside on a sunny day than you ever 
can be by mobile phone transmitters.

That said, the field strength around the 1MW erp rigs up at Crystal 
Palace is quite amazing, but there are no physiological effects claimed 
for the area around these sites.

Back in my broadcast days, we were always warned that "Microwaves frizz 
your heirs!" - but the power output of those links were in the hundreds 
of Watts, and were very narrow beams- not to be messed with!
