Lead Shielding

Lead Shielding is a form of radiation shielding that uses lead as the primary attenuating material due to its high density and atomic number, distinguishing it from other shielding methods by its exceptional ability to absorb and block ionizing radiation, particularly gamma rays and X-rays.
