I don't own a land telephone line so I use my mobile for all telephone correspondence. Should I be worried about the affect on my health?

500 million people world-wide own a mobile phone, and although there have been some high-profile cases where scientists have claimed that excessive use of a mobile handset has lead to cancer or memory loss, there is no conclusive evidence of this. Mobile phones release small microwaves which, after various studies, have been found to have no adverse effect on the human body. Scientists at Bristol University, England have carried out extensive research on the subject by comparing regular mobile phone users with people who have never used the device, and found no notable difference in health or the way they remember facts. So, to answer you question, no, according to the most reliable research available, your mobile will not kill you ' that is unless you try to eat it.
I've seen studies that say yes. The picture of the antenna shaped tumor was good enough for me. There are also higher cases of brain cancer near power substations. There are plenty of studies that say that electromagnetic radiation is bad for you.
