Alpha particle radiation can be stopped by just a few centimetres of air. Therefore, clothing will certainly block penetration. Potentially, low energy Beta radiation could also be blocked by thick clothing.

What type of radiation can be blocked by clothing?
alpha
What type of radiation is best detected by a scintillation counter?
Ionizing radiation
Does phone really have radiation that is harmful to humans?
Cell phones do emit a type of non-ionizing radiation.
Which type of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Alpha or beta radiation
What is unique about receiving a dose of neutron radiation and an equivalent dose of other types of radiation either ionizing or nonionizing?
The neutron radiation can turn stable elements in your body to radioactive isotopes (called neutron activation). This makes you radioactive in a way that cannot be removed by any attempt at decontamination. No other type of radiation can do this.
What type of radiation can be blocked by clothing?
alpha
What is are the type of ionizing radiation?
a
What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
Which type of radiation is most likely to damage DNA ionizing or nonionizing?
Ionizing
What type of radiation is best detected by a scintillation counter?
Ionizing radiation
What type of ionizing radiation causes radio dermatitis?
alpha
Does phone really have radiation that is harmful to humans?
Cell phones do emit a type of non-ionizing radiation.
What kind of EMR helps fight cancer?
The type of electromagnetic radiation that is used to fight cancer is gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a type of ionizing radiation, which breaks the chemical bonds in cells, which makes it useful in treating cancer.
What is an example of a gamma ray-?
It is like high radiation that comes from a star.
Can radiation be detected because it ionizes the atoms it affects?
Ionizing radiation is only one type of radiation. Visible light, for example, falls under the category of electromagnetic radiation. Radiation has many different detectable consequences.
Which of the three kinds of radiation is most penetrating?
Gamma ray, by far. Alfa can be blocked by as little as a piece of notebook paper, buy Gamma (from sources such as a reactor core) will pass through 6 feet for stailsteel-lined concrete and can give a leathal dose in as little as 20 minutes.
Which type of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Alpha or beta radiation
