What are the level of danger radio waves pose to living organisms?

The answer, most of the time, is zero.
- Radio waves are not 'ionising radiation' which could be dangerous at fairly low power levels.
- Radio waves in general pass through living things, with only a very small percentage of the energy being absorbed. The few transmitters which are powerful enough to be dangerous are surrounded by security fences to keep people at a safe dictance.
- There is a frequency in the low microwave region (just above 2GHz) which is strongly absorbed by molecules of water. This frequency can be produced in dangerous quantities by specially built magnetrons, and anything containing water can be boiled after a fairly brief exposure to the output from one of these. There are lots of these about, all safely shut up inside microwave ovens.

Why X-rays can damage organism but radio wave can not?
The X-Ray has more energy than the radio waves, E=hf. The f in X rays is billion times higher than radio waves. Thus X-Rays are a billion times more energy.Roughly damage can be caused around f=E15 hertz, UV Rays. Radio waves are around f=E12 and X-Rays around f=E18. Radio waves are 1/1000 of the danger level and X-Rays are 1000 times the danger level.

What is the danger of radio waves from 25 meters highl tower?
That would depend on the frequency of the transmissions from the tower, their power level, and the pattern in which the transmissions are focused. The feeling of this individual contributor is that there is no danger posed by anything short of a doppler weather radar on that tower.

What kind of radiation do living organisms depend on?
-- All depend on heat. -- Most depend on light. -- Those in specialized occupations, such as microwave engineers, radio announcers, and tanning salon proprietors, depend on other bands of EM.
