I'm using
max_power_red 12
to put the BTS TX power around 24 - 12 = 12dBm (~16 mW)
ms max power 12
to limit the MS TX power around 16 mW as well.
but it's mostly to avoid catching outside mobile rather than health ...

Well, the nanoBTS is 200mW max anyway.
I don't know how "close" you are to the BTS but personally, I think I
get more radiation from the network card in my laptop that sits on my
lap or in front of my face than from the BTS 5 meters away ...
