Abstract
Plasma containing relativistic particles appears in various forms in the inter galactic medium (IGM): As radio plasma released by active radio galaxies, as fossil radio plasma from former radio galaxies - so called `radio ghosts', as `cluster radio relics' in some clusters of galaxies, and as `cluster radio halos'. The impact of the different forms of radio plasma on the IGM and their use as diagnostic tools are briefly discussed.
