Consider the heat from varaius conventional sources: a 1W flashlight bulb feels a little warm to the touch, a 40W light bulb gets too hot to touch after it's been switched on for some time, a 1 kW heater will give you serious burns if you touch it. Now consider that a microwave oven runs at few hundred watts, and the most powerful 802.11b card on the market runs at 200 mW (that's a fifth of a watt). Your cell phone runs at an order of magnitude more power, and you put that right next to your head !

Microwave ovens are not allowed to leak more than 1W, so that is probably a 'safe' amount.
