The paper overviews possible ionizing radiation application for environmental pollution control. The laboratory, pilot plant tests and industrial applications have illustrated possibility of this technology application for gaseous, liquid and solid wastes purification and treatment. Especially electricity driven radiation sources like electron accelerators have a broad prospectus of their applications. The examples of ionizing radiation application to protect the environment and human health are discussed in the paper.
