Abstract
IT has been found that radiation doses of a magnitude as low as 10 r. damage cells in culture and interfere with their multiplication1,2. Although the damage is to be ascribed primarily to short-lived radicals produced by the rays rather than to the hydrogen peroxide also made, it is desirable to study the biological effects of small concentrations of this substance.
