If I had a child (who would be likely to have decades of cell phone use) who liked to gab on the phone for all hours of the day, I would suggest using a land line for most of that. It is a simple precaution to take - costs nothing but convenience - and who knows what we will find out about the correlation.
But more broadly - I'm not concerned at all about any of the moderate cell phone use by anyone in our family.
