I understand how UV rays cause harm by damaging DNA, and that microwaves of the right frequency can cook tissues in an oven, but what mechanism is there to explain why cell phones might harm us in anyway?

Hi! @angelicaperduta as you can see in the last diagram, the radiation radiates out into space. Holding the phone next to your ear causes the radiation to travel to your head, causing brain damage or brain tumors over time. I hope that i have answered your question!
