Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution. By Ann Louise Gittleman. HarperOne. 262 pp. $25.99.

Disconnect: The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Has Done to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family. By Devra Davis. Penguin Group. 271 pp. $26.95.

Like many Americans, I am never too far from my BlackBerry. Though I turn it off when I go to bed, I check it for messages as soon as I wake up, and for the rest of the day it serves as my connection to colleagues, loved ones and total strangers across the globe.

It is also an endless source of fascination for my 1 1/2-year-old son, and I devote a considerable amount of energy to keeping it out of his tiny hands. I've seen enough scientific reports about the potential hazards associated with cellphones to make me concerned about his exposure, but also enough contradictory studies to leave me confused. In October, for example, the European Journal of Oncology published a study that found a link between wireless radiation and heart irregularities.
