Radiation Protective Clothing

Radiation protective clothing is specialized gear designed to shield individuals from harmful ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or radioactive particles. Made from materials like lead or lead-equivalent composites, these garments absorb or block radiation, reducing exposure to sensitive organs and tissues. Common examples include lead aprons worn by medical staff during X-rays and full-body suits used in nuclear facilities. The clothing’s effectiveness depends on its thickness and material, offering a barrier that minimizes health risks associated with radiation exposure, ensuring safety for workers in medical, industrial, and nuclear environments.
