Here is a site that has an extensive list of studies that were done addressing the issue of microwaves and health.Some of this is not new information, but seems to be expanded on a paper that was published and presented several years ago, in the early 2000's by my recollection by a group of researchers, I think from one of the Scandinavian countries, from my recollection referred to as the Sheffield study (it has struck in my mind because of an area in the UK).
At the time, it was discussing the dangers of cell phone use, from recollection it alerted dangers of calcium disruption and infiltration into the blood brain barrier, causing neurological damage and was thought to be a mechanism for causing brain tumors. I remember Teddy Kennedy died from a brain tumor, I cam across a Salesman he reported he was an avid cell phone user, and used a cell phone extensively for job related purposes, he was being treated with chemo for a brain tumor
This was when widespread cell phone use was in it's so called infancy. Now it has become much more sophisticated. BTW the paper is no longer available. My limited search capacity, could not retrieve the article. I did have it bookmarked on an old computer, but the hard was fried, so had to buy a new computer.
This is purely anecdotal, just wanted to add my thoughts.

Just one of the papers and its conclusion,
Mobile phone radiation causes brain tumors and should be classifed as a probable human carcinogen (2A) (Review)

Conclusions
The Cerenat study corroborates the significant risks of glioma associated with exposure to radiofrequency felds reported by the Swedish team and by the 13-country interPHone study, and adds weight to the epidemiological evidence that radio frequency felds, classifed by the international agency for research on cancer as a group 2B (possible) carcinogen in 2011 should be reclassified as a Group 2A (probable) carcinogen.
In the CERENAT study, a signifcant increased risk of brain cancer was found from mobile phone use overall with an 8-fold increased risk for higher urban exposures. Three out of every four persons today live in mega-cities with populations of >10 million, many in the rapidly developing world where exposures to RF-EMF may be poorly controlled and access to medical treatment problematic. cerenat also corroborates those few studies that have shown a risk of meningioma from mobile phone use. The growth of mobile phone use worldwide has reached the level that in many nations there are more phones than adults. Exposures today can occur simultaneously from a number of WTDs such as mobile phones, mobile phone base stations (as known as masts or cell towers), and tablets, with the latter often being held quite close to the bodies of users (ignoring that the exposure limit is measured at 20 cm distance from tablets, laptop computer, and similar WTDs).
Until further evidence is available, it is prudent for policies about the use and development of WTDs rely on reducing exposures to the alara standard used in pediatric radiology. The alara approach would require hardware and software designers to create proximity sensors and embed flash notices regarding simple advisories about safer use within devices. In the meantime, we urge that serious national programs of training and research be established to train experts in evaluating this technology and establish appropriate monitoring and surveillance systems such as those in place for pharmaceuticals and other agents. this program could be funded by a fee of 2 cents/month to be paid equally from consumers, manufacturers, and providers into an independently operated research and training program.
