Ecomass Technologies discusses radiation shielding, which involves using materials to block or control harmful radiation exposures for health and environmental safety. It emphasizes the dangers of radioactive materials like polonium and uranium, as well as gamma and x-ray radiation due to their higher penetrating capabilities. The effectiveness of radiation shielding is determined by the materials' ability to limit radiation penetration.

2. Radiation shielding refers to the use of materials that have the capacity to
prevent the passage of excessive doses of radiation.

3. It can also refer to a material that has the ability to prevent the movement of
any radiation whatsoever. Perhaps you are wondering why it is important to
have materials that can help you to prevent the movement of radiation beyond
a certain boundary.

4. radiation shielding is very important to our health and safety and that of the
environment.

5. Radiations have the potential to do this, however, those that can cause collateral
damage to the body cells must be prevented or controlled at all costs.

6. Radiation from radioactive materials such as polonium and uranium can
prove to be very dangerous to the body’s cells.

7. Radioactive substances are the most dangerous natural substances that
produce radiation worth shielding.

8. Common examples of radiations that are worth shielding against also include
gamma and x-ray radiation. These rays have higher penetrating powers
compared to alpha rays.

9. The construction of radiation shielding materials is based on their ability to
contain or limit the penetrating power of as particular form of radiation.
