Abstract

Ionizing radiation affects biological systems and high-radiation doses increase the risk of cancer among large population. Environmental factors influence carcinogenesis in humans. Rapid use of radiation technologies in medicine and industry has increased radiological and nuclear accidents affecting human health. People working in nuclear power plants and industries face health concerns due to radiation exposure. There is an urgent need for safe and cost effective radioprotective agents for persons working in radiation field. Radiation is always present in natural part of our environment. Radioactive sources from soil, water and air contribute to exposure of ionizing radiation.
