Abstract

The environment is a big concern in the development of economy and society, especially, its pollution accompanied with the progress of science and technology. Therefore, the protection of environment becomes more and more an urgent task. The mechanism of the ionizing irradiation is discussed in this paper in the context of the protection of environment. The advantages and disadvantages of some common and new technologies of the ionizing irradiation are analyzed. The mechanism of the technology and its characteristics related with the waste disposal, the environmental protection and the personal health are reviewed.
