Abstract
Traditionally, lead has been primarily used to shield the radiation in the hospital, because of its soft texture, durability and cost effectiveness. However, lead can be dangerous because of its toxicity when exposed to the human body, and it is classified as a heavy metal like cadmium, mercury, and arsenic etc. In order to compensate its noxious properties on the human body, researchers are trying to develop a radiation shield which has similar shielding efficiency and can also be manufactured in any form. In this study, sulfuric acid barium was mixed with fiber, rubber, and silicon all of which are harmless to the human body, tested, and evaluated for its ability of medical radiation shield. The result of this study showed that the sheet containing silicon and barium has the strongest shielding abilities.
