Manwell, bearing in mind that we are talking about non-ionising radiation, it's not so much the frequency as the energy that's the health concern. Airborne weather radars like the RDR-4000 are punching out about 900 W; a typical 5G metro-cell (greatest coverage, max power) will max out at about 20 W so we're talking nearly two orders of magnitude difference in power output. Apply the inverse square law to the distances involved (standing directly in front of a 900 W focussed beam transmitter versus being what? 50 - 250 metres from a 20 W transmitter) and you quickly get a sense for the differences.
The analogy that I use frequently is the Sun and your TV - both emit radiation in the visible spectrum and we're rightly counselled not to look directly at the Sun; does that mean that you shouldn't look directly at your TV?
