Additional information
Because of its large length, the review was divided into three parts. The first part devoted to the sources of ionizing radiation used for the purposes of environmental conservation and to the radiation-chemical purification of natural and drinking water was published in the first issue ofKhim. Vys. Energ. (High Energy Chem.) [1]. The third part concerning new data on the radiation treatment of sewage sludge and on the radiation-chemical purification of gaseous and solid systems will be published inKhim. Vys. Energ. (High Energy Chem.), 2000, vol. 34, no. 3.
