A responder can protect himself/herself from radiation by using shielding as a response action. What materials are best for protecting against beta particles?

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.
