Published data on radiolysis of liquid (mainly aqueous, water ± alcohol and alcoholic) and solid [mainly in poly(vinyl alcohol)] solutions of tetrazolium salts are generalised. The mechanism of radiolytic transformations of these compounds is discussed. Their application in dosimetry of ionising radiation is considered in detail. The bibliography includes 60 references.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
