Through the years several governments, committees and international bodies issues warning regarding RF and ELF EMF/EMR. As more science and proof is becoming clear and wide spreed more and more warning have been issues and more reports have concluded that exposure to RF and ELF fields is not healthy and can have health effects that are not related to the heat effect.
Can non ionizing radiation photon cause damage?
The industry, and scientist which follow it, argue that RF and ELF photon does not have enough energy to damage DNA. Well this article say they got it all wrong. It is not the single photon's energy that count but the full wave of photons' energy over time, and there is enough energy to damage DNA (and for other bio effects):

Sites with lists of studies
Since I am not a scientist I am not going to bring a list
of studies and then explain them. If you need a list of studies, so you can
read and decide for yourself, I can recommend the following site that has a
list of most studies about health effect of Electromagnetic Radiation that were published: http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/science/studies.asp
In addition you can find more studies on the following pages:
RF (High frequency) EMR health effect studies
Studies (partial list)
More and more studies show biological and health effects of RF EMR, even at very low levels which don't cause any heat effect and were considered to be safe.
Brain damage after RF-MW exposure - Salford -2003
The picture below is taken from the "Nerve Cell Damage in Mammalian Brain after Exposure to Microwaves from GSM Mobile Phones" study by Leif G. Salford, Arne E. Brun, Jacob L. Eberhardt, Lars Malmgren, Bertil R.R. Persson. (please see the source link below for full study).
DNA brakes - Henry Lai and Dr Narendra -1996
Lymphoma cancer in mice - Repacholi MH -1997
Mike Repacholi exposed mice to RF radiation, similar
to that emitted from cellphones, and found that the risk for Lymphoma was found to be significantly higher in the mice that
were exposed. Several years after the research was done, Repacholi took back
his finding and was appointed to several roles in the WHO and was lately hired as a consultant
to the industry.

Creation of Free radicals as a result of RF radiation exposure - Friedman J- 2007
On their research Mechanism of short-term ERK activation by electromagnetic fields at mobile phone frequencies from 2007, Dr. Joseph Friedman and Prof. Roni Seger, from the Department of Biological Regulation, The Weizmann Institute of Science, found that exposure to RF electromagnetic radiation caused oxygenate stress and for the first time showed a detailed molecular mechanism by which electromagnetic irradiation from mobile phones interacts and changes cell communication and activities.
Cell phone usage by pregnant women and of children causes behavioral difficulties - Divan HA, Kheifets L, Obel C, Olsen J - 2008
"Exposure to cell phones prenatally-and, to a lesser degree, postnatal-was associated with behavioral difficulties such as emotional and hyperactivity problems around the age of school entry"

27 minutes of cellphone use per day incress brain cancer risk - The interphone study - 2010
The interphone study final result ware published on 17/05/2010, after 5 years of delay. a first look suggests that using a mobile phone actually protect you from brain cancer, how could that be? a second look shows that people who use their mobile phone for more then 27 minutes per day (1640 hours in 10 years) have 40% higher risk of getting a brain tumor. In the study itself there were many issues and problems that cause the results to be moderated. Appendix 2 of the study try to mathematically fix some of the problems in the study resulting with higher risk (please see picture bellow).

Table 2 (out of the appendix # 2 of the interphone study) - ORs is higher!
Cellphone and cordless phones use and brain cancer - Lennart Hardell - 2010
"Use of mobile phones gave an increased risk, highest in the >10 years' latency group yielding odds ratio (OR) = 2.4, and 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.4-4.1. The risk increased with cumulative number of lifetime hours for use, and was highest in the >2,000 h group (OR = 3.4, 95% CI = 1.6-7.1)."
Lennart Hardell is a world known scientist on the field of electromagnetic radiation. His many studies and reviews show constant correlation between RF exposure and health effects.
Polish army RF-MW exposure study - Szmigielski S - 1996
"Cancer morbidity in subjects occupationally exposed to high frequency (radiofrequency and microwave) electromagnetic radiation". this study tracked the RF-MW exposure levels and health records of army personal of the polish army for 15 years (both soldiers that were exposed and those who were not). The study shows that personal that was exposed to RF-WM radiation had added risk of 2.07 of cancer, and that their morbidity rate was higher.
Additional scientific information and tests
However I would like to show you the following video, 2 pictures and a single chart that can maybe
tell the all story.

What happens to your blood when radiated:
Few
years ago I came across pictures and articles about live blood cell analysis of
human exposed to RF radiation. For years I search for a good, simple, easy to
understand video clip that explains the test and shows parts of it.
This
video, made by Dr. Magda Havas from the Environmental & Resource Studies, Trent University, Peterborough,
ON, Canada, is the best I have ever seen until today. It is short, self
explanatory and easy to understand. Dr. Magda Havas explains the test and the
outcome while showing pictures and videos from the test itself.
The
video show what happens to a human blood when exposed to electromagnetic radiation
from a computer and also from a cordless phone. The test outcomes are clearly
seen and can explain some of the symptoms of Radiation exposure and of
Electromagnetic Hyper sensitive (EHS).
Dr Magda Havas about "Live Blood Analysis"
Does exposure to EMR from DECT phone effect the hart bit?
The answer is yes, exposure to electromagnetic radiation from DECT phone does change the hart bit of some people (electro hypersensitive included). The below video summeriest the experiment done by DR. Magda Havas and DR. Jeff Marrongelle that was done in March 2010 and will be published later on in 2010. The experiment tested if exposure to EMR from DECT phones effect people hart rate. The outcomes show that it does, watch the following video for more info.

Industry funded resource vs. independent resource
The cart below was done by
Lloyd Morgan and it original (fully functional links to all the studies that appear in the chart as dots) can be found on www.powerwatch.org (see link below).The chart below clearly shows that industry funded research (in red color) show none or small increased risk while independent resource (in blue) shows that the risk increases a great deal more.
In addition some of the industry
funded research show improvement or less risk than the control group. This can be
cause by faults in the study or it can really represent a change in the
functional of the body (that can have good measured aspects but also some hidden bad aspects).

ELF (Extreme Low frequency) magnetic field health effect studies
Extreme low frequency electromagnetic fields have been calcified by the WHO/IARC as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" in 2002. The classification came after several studies an pool analysis showed that people, and specially children, that lived or studies next or under to high voltage power line had a much larges risk of getting different types of cancer. The level that is considered to be the risk threshold is 2-3 mG. The ICNIRP, very high, standard of 1000 mG deals with only short term exposure, yet it is being considered by many governance and electrical companies as the only standard that covers also long term exposure. The ICNIRP's standard takes into consideration only one health effect which is muscle tension.
