The maximum RF output energy of Bluetooth is 2.5mWatts vs. around 2 Watts for GSM cell phone. That's nearly one thousand times *less* power by my calculations.

the real problem is the dangers of your cell phone EMF radiation, so even using an airtube with your headsets doesn’t protect you completely.

using headsets still does not eliminate risk. You can’t use headsets without a cell phone…

You seem to be saying that an earpiece amplifies the radiation. I don't see how that is possible. Bluetooth, yes, because you are putting a transmitter in your ear but an ordinary ear piece puts distance between you and the phone with a wire. The phone is the transmitter. Where is your source for that fact that earpieces are dangerous? The NY Times article says that two of the neurosurgeons use ear pieces.
