AB  - The most important advantages of the use of ionizing radiation over other AOPs 
      are exceptionally efficient in situ generation of very reactive oxidizing free 
      radicals (*)OH from water radiolysis and very unique simultaneous generation of 
      strongly reducing hydrated electrons. They allow to carry out Advanced Oxidation 
      and Reduction Processes (AO/RPs) simultaneously. Carrying out only oxidative or 
      reductive processes is also possible by the use of appropriate scavengers of free 
      radicals in irradiated solutions. For the application of these processes for 
      environmental protection purposes gamma-rays from radioisotope sources or beams 
      of accelerated electrons are most commonly used. In the case of particularly 
      resistant POPs some chemical additives to the irradiated solutions may enhance 
      the yield of decomposition. This review based on 125 references reported so far 
      presents the applications of the discussed technology in removing POPs from 
      waters and wastewaters, including pesticides listed among POPs, dioxins, 
      polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and selected 
      perfluorinated surfactants.
