With broadcast transmitters, these are planned and operated by professionals who we hope will have done the relevant safety assessments.
Mobile phones are inherently QRP, though they are very close to you. Extensive studies have been done on the effects of mobile phones. Much to the dismay of the anti 5G/4G/3G (take your pick) brigade there is no evidence of harm. Though there is some precautionary advice for children.
The field close to HV power lines can be unpleasant. Hold up a fluorescent tube under an HV line and it can light up. The field here is mainly electric, not electromagnetic. Again there's not much evidence to show it's a health hazard. There's some thought that problems may be due to the way that fine particles are moved around by the fields. Livestock are sometimes killed when there's a flashover to a tower. The potential gradient in the ground can be lethal to an animal. A human wearing shoes has no problem. Apparently National Grid pay most claims without fuss, though I'm sure some farmers are less than honest.
