If by ionising radiation you mean alpha radiation (the most ionising out of alpha, beta and gamma radiation) then about a millimetre of paper would stop it.
alpha radiation ionises the molecules of anything it reaches, but can pass through very few things due to its immense ionising power. This includes human tissue, but in all honesty, a large dose of alpha radiation wouldn't do human tissue alot of good.
In short, almost any material can stop ionising radiation.

What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
What radiation may due to atoms?
Ionizing radiation
Is alpha radiation a ionization radiation?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Gamma radiation and x radiation provide ionizing forms of radiation What effect does ionizing radiation have on molecules through which they pass?
"Ionizing" means that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions. In other words, it can knock off one or more electrons.
How can radiation have an ionizing effect?
Radiation can excite an electron sufficiently for the electron to leave the atom, thus having an ionizing effect.
What ionizing radiation is not affected by an electric field?
No electromagnetic radiation, whether ionizing or not, is affected by an electric field or by a magnetic field.
