You think about it the wrong way. GPS is not passive, it is everywhere

The only thing that actually creates any radiation at rest is wifi, cellular and bluetooth. And probably just periodically if at all depending on your phone condiguration.

Well yeah its kinda everywhere, but you cant get a gps lock inside your house (unless its a US style paper house). There will be some left that gets through but either way it has nothing to do with your phones GPS toggle being on or not.

- LTE/NR goes into RRC IDLE state pretty much immediately once you’re on WiFi so the actual time of transmission (and even reception with DRX) is incredibly short
Not that it matters, those 23±2 dBm are nothing to worry about

More importantly, it’s non-ionizing radiation. It doesn’t have the energy to knock electrons orbit.
