We don't know that. Not only there may be a safe level of exposure, there may be a beneficial level[1]. Any rigorous experiment would be obviously unethical so we're just guessing here.

Now there's an interesting thought. Environmental-disaster/health-scare hoaxes, to give certain targeted wild ecosystems a chance to heal. If the environmental movement ever gets a covert operations agency, maybe that's what we'll see. (Or are already seeing?)
It's not working very well, if that's the case. Maybe a new strategy is in order? They could spread documents that reveal that tuna has been involved in all major internet trolling incidents between 2010 and 2013.

Ah. I'd say don't that this fud could be allowed to run its course for a little while. The tuna could use some time to recover.

They should go with "studies have shown that chemical X (found in tuna) can cause male genitalia to shrink by up to 17%". People don't care about dying 10 years sooner, but they do care about having bigger penises.

Isn't that how Godzilla and the Incredible Hulk got started?
A slightly less wrong (but still wrong) title would be "Sunlight is deadlier than pacific sushi". First, this article doesn't even mention cell phone radiation. Second, your cell phone isn't deadlier than pacific sushi. Damage to DNA caused by EM radiation is more a function of frequency than intensity. A small amount of X-Ray radiation is far more damaging than sitting in front of an infrared lamp getting toasty war…
