<Another example is lead in petrol>
Not the best example. If necessary, I'll find the report, but lead has been around forever and researchers were well aware of tetraethyl lead as a neurotoxin in the 1920's. The patents belonged to General Motors, which easily squelched the opposition.

I'm cockeyed and optimistic enough to believe that 1)most brain tumors are of unknown etiology and therefore a product of complications related to living being hazardous to your health, and 2)that things are changing for the better. A good friend recently had a "tumor-like mass" removed, so mysterious as to have been diagnosed as probably related to a stint studying tropical birds (viral). There are more there. As far as cell phones go, if we're going to dump the available science and trust common instinct, consider that we've evolved for 100,000 years tolerating radio waves, and only a few with the volatiles moving out of the housings and gizzards. Some people will surely have very low tolerance to that, too. (But-- hopefully-- none.)
On yet another hand, I figure my 12 mile drive tomorrow morning to my office in high speed friction with cars going the other way on 2-lane country roads is truly dangerous, compared to damned near anything else I do or am exposed to.
What? Me worry? --knowing what I think I know about cell phone radiation? (Not to mention truly believing that chronic negative thinking is very bad for you.)
