Isn't power of a mobile phone miniscule in comparison to that of a tesla
coil or a microwave oven.
I mean it's not as if you can draw sparks or light a flourescent tube or
even an NE-2 neon bulb from a mobile phone as far I know (although perhaps
someone should check that out just in case I'm wrong!)

Furthermore power from a mobile phone couldn't be more  than a watt
whereas tesla coil depends on input power maybe few tens or hundreds of
watts for a mini-coil  to several tens or hundred of kilowatts for something
like Electrum
and the output most microwave ovens is somewhere between several hundred
watts
and a few kilowatts.

While it is considered that watt for watt microwaves are more dangerous than
radio or lower frequency electromagnetic radiation
is it not necessary to consider power of a microwave source when assessing
the perceived risk?
For instance would it not be possible for a low frequency, high power radio
source and a high frequency, low power radio source (e.g a mobile phone) to
be equally dangerous?

Many people associate microwaves with radioactivity despite the fact that
they are unconnected in same way that they equate "radiation" with "nuclear
radiation" from H-bombs and Chernobyl
and more recently "electromagnetic radiation" with  a wide range of
ill-defined health problems caused by power lines and radars
despite the fact that the term electromagnetic radiation in fact refers to
everything in the spectrum from radio waves through heat and light to
gamma-rays.
Isn't it just a bit silly to be running in blind terror from  nasty words
like "microwaves" and "radiation" without stopping for a moment to check out
what these words really mean?
