Abstract
The importance of the hits theory in today's radiobiology is pointed out. The essential part of the study refers to the compiling of the results of radiochemical research on the primary effect of ionizing radiations, the observations made in vivo and in vitro having been separately dealt with. Changes caused by ionizing radiation in water and aqueous solutions are given preferential attention. Observations made on radiochemical changes which biologically important substances have undergone are reported, as these are especially relevant in relation with an active x-ray protection, in the form of medicaments. A short reference is made to the application of the results of radiochemistry in relation with biological changes after the effect displayed by ionizing radiations. (auth)
