The method of electron spin resonance was used to study the effects of ionizing radiations on various biological substances ranging in complexity from the simplest constituents of proteins to cellular materials. Applications of the findings in understanding the biologlcal function of molecules, certain aspects of radiation injury, amd the protective effects of somc chemical substances against radiation injury are discussed. The method of electron spin resonance is also being used to study the free radicals produced in various plastics such as lucite, polystyrene, amd related simpler organic molecules.
