lead shielding

Lead shielding involves using lead, a dense and heavy metal, to block or reduce exposure to harmful radiation. Because of its high density, lead effectively absorbs and scatters radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays, preventing it from reaching people or sensitive equipment. This is why lead shields are common in medical imaging rooms, nuclear facilities, and laboratories. The lead layer acts like a barrier, protecting individuals from radiation's health risks by preventing it from passing through. Properly designed lead shielding ensures safety while allowing necessary radiation-based procedures to be performed effectively.
