What are the different types of environmental monitoring?
The different types of environmental monitoring are air monitoring and water monitoring. Another type of environmental monitoring includes soil monitoring.
What materials would stop X rays from passing through them?
This is a very difficult question to answer as it does not specify the type of radiation. As different materials react differently to different types of radiation it is essential to know the type of radiation.
Does lead absorbs all kind of radiation?
No shielding material truly absorbs electromagnetic radiation, it attenuates it. The attenuation is by a certain amount for a certain standard thickness. The standard thickness is called the half thickness and is used to quantify shielding effectiveness for a given type of electromagnetic radiation. One half thickness attenuates the power of the given type of radiation by 50% or in decibel units -3dB. Thus the power of the radiation after a given number of half thicknesses of a given shield is:50% or -3dB25% or -6dB12.5% or -9dB6.25% or -12dB3.125% or -15dB1.5625% or -18dB0.78125% or -21dB0.390625% or -24dB0.1953125% or -27dB0.097655625 or -30dBetc.As you can see no thickness of shield material can completely attenuate electromagnetic radiation to nothing, also the higher the frequency of electromagnetic radiation the longer the half thickness is so for x-rays and gamma rays it takes very large thicknesses to get any useful attenuation.For particle radiation the situation is completely different, the radiation can sometimes be absorbed and sometimes can't:alpha particles are 100% absorbed by a single sheet of paper or the first layer of living tissue they encountermost beta particles are 100% absorbed by a single sheet of thin metal foil (e.g. aluminum foil)neutrons penetrate most matter as if it was not there, unless it contains certain elements (e.g. boron, cadmium, uranium) that have high neutron capture crosssections in which case the neutron flux is attenuated much like electromagnetic radiation as described aboveneutrinos penetrate all matter as if it was not thereetc.
What is a fully automatic?
A Fully Automatic System is a type of method of operation for items of technology to help achieve fast and accurate results without requiring a high degree of technical knowledge on the part of the human operators. An example of a specific area of technology that uses a fully automatic system is the ''Fully Automatic System for Monitoring Blood Pressure" which is used in the field of medicine.
