Different types of radiation have different penetrating powers. Alpha radiation - which has got a very low penetrating power - can be stopped by wearing gloves. However, beta and gamma radiation are more penetrating. We can shield beta radiation using aluminium, and we can shield gamma radiation using lead. Some medical workers, for example, wear a lead apron. However, with high levels of radiation, a lead apron may not be enough.
