Abstract
This paper surveys some of the reactions produced by moderate dosages of ionizing radiation on aqueous solns. of biologically important molecules. The effects of radiations on oxidation-reduction processes, and the role of oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and atomic hydrogen are considered.Keywords
