Description
Exposure to alpha, -beta-, gamma-, or high energy electron radiation. Irradiation is used as a treatment to sterilize materials. It is also used to initiate polymerization in some plastics. Irradiation, depending on the type and intensity can cause physical and chemical changes in organic materials such as plastics, paper, dyes, and textiles (SCMRE 2001). Irradiation will kill any biological recipient.
