Abstract
Present-day applications of ionizing radiation to environmental protection are surveyed. This part of the review summarizes new data on the ionizing r adiation sources used in this area, on the radiation-chemical purification of polluted natural and drinking water, and on the mechanisms of processes occurring in these systems under exposure to ionizing radiation. A particul ar emphasis is placed on large-scale processes.
