[ "(CNN) -- Following the World Health Organization's announcement that radio frequency emissions from cell phones may increase the risk of some kinds of brain cancer, what do you need to know about the radiation coming from your phone? How can you protect yourself? And should RF emission information be listed on cell phone packaging, and in stores? First things first: The WHO study did not say \"cell phones cause brain cancer.\"", "First things first: The WHO study did not say \"cell phones cause brain cancer.\" Rather, there is some evidence indicating a possible connection -- and while not conclusive, it warrants further study.

Here's how Ed Yong, head of health information at Cancer Research UK, explained it in his detailed analysis of the WHO announcement: \"Group 2B means that there is some evidence for a risk but it's not that convincing.

But Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health at University of California, Berkeley, told the Chronicle that \"specific absorption rate isn't a very useful measure because it's the peak reading on a variety of tests conducted on cell phones to measure their radiation, but doesn't indicate the average amount of radiation a user would generally be exposed to.\"", "But Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health at University of California, Berkeley, told the Chronicle that \"specific absorption rate isn't a very useful measure because it's the peak reading on a variety of tests conducted on cell phones to measure their radiation, but doesn't indicate the average amount of radiation a user would generally be exposed to.\" He likened it to a car's gas mileage being reported only based on driving it up a steep hill.", "He likened it to a car's gas mileage being reported only based on driving it up a steep hill.
