• Abstract:

  Radiation with higher energy levels called ionizing has enough energy to direct affect the structure of atoms of the materials. Ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in imbalance of the pro-oxidant and antioxidant activities ultimately resulting in cell death.
