Gotta admit, I'm not that much into radiation and that stuff 
But I guess a lot of things around us "radiate" in some way.
I wrote in another post about this,..that some people will always develop some sort of e.g. cancer, and just "maybe" some sort of radiation will "trigger" it.
It could be a mobile-device or a microwave-oven,..those people would have got sick anyway, just using something else.
I think it works the same way as e.g. smoking cigarettes,..some get cancer, some dont.
My grandmother lived to be 87 years old, and smoked cigarettes all her life. She never did get sick.
Medical science doesnt seem to aggree, whether you get sick or not from e.g. headsets, handsets, microwave-ovens and so on.

The Ericsson HBH-10 transmits at 2400 Mhz (ISM-band) with 10mW = 0.01W
GSM phones transmit at 800/900/1800 Mhz with maximal 2W (depending on how far you are from the nearest gsm-antenna).
So far no academic research has reported that gsm-phones (max 2 W) are in any way dangerous or reach critical limits. There are many different factors to take into account: frequency, distance between transmitter and human body, total duration of exposure, etc, etc.
If you are concerned: the safest way is to use a regular (wired) headset and wear the phone far from your head (eg: belt).
I - however - am not concerned for the extreme low radiation energies by my HBH10 at 0.01 Watts. Driving in my car (with Nokia 5110-carkit  ) without hands-free is more life-treathening to me...

Two articles from BBC about the radiation risks associated with regular hands-free sets. The debate seems to be inconclusive.

OWIZARD : Yeah just read these two articles.
They cant really find out, can they.
The same kind of researches have taken place in the scandinavian countries, and in other european countries too.
They cant really decide, what is worse, and what is not.
And the researches/articles dont tell anything about bluetooth headsets.

Please read the article "Personal safety and
Bluetooth products" in this newsletter from Bluetooth SIG.
