ESR studies of ultraviolet‐irradiated polyethylene (PE) were carried out. Irradiation effects different from those of high‐energy radiation are observed. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed selectively, and especially in carbonyl groups in PE produced by oxidation. Radicals produced were identified as {article}{empty}{document}--- CH₂ --- Ċ H --- CHO{document} and {article}{empty}{document}--- CH₂ --- Ċ H --- CH₂ ---{document} . Some radicals giving a quintet signal stable at room temperature were also observed but remained unidentified. The radical {article}{empty}{document}--- CH₂ --- Ċ H --- CHO{document} undergoes a mutual conversion with the acyl radical:
