The amount of dirt needed to protect from radiation depends on the type and intensity of the radiation. Generally, at least several feet of soil are needed to provide adequate protection from most types of radiation. It is best to consult with a radiation protection expert to determine the exact amount needed based on the specific circumstances.

Why do people exposed to radiation regularly need to wear radiation badges?
The radiation badges tell you how much radiation you have been exposed to so you know when you have been exposed to enough (before it becomes dangerous) and you can stop work in that area until you are able to be exposed to radiation again. They sometimes wear lead aprons to protect themselves from radiation. I think this is right but you had better check again somewhere else because it might not be right.
What protection is triple lead shielding used for in space?
Triple lead shielding in space is used to protect astronauts from harmful radiation such as cosmic rays and solar radiation. Lead's high density makes it effective at blocking these radiation particles and reducing the risk of radiation exposure during space travel.
Forms in your outer ear to protect your middle and inner ear from dirt and infection?
wax
What would you need to protect yourself from the heat and atmosphere on Mercury?
a radiation suit
What is the purpose of wearing a film badge when working with ionizing radiation sources?
Film badges are worn by workers to monitor their exposure to ionizing radiation sources. The badge contains film strips that darken when exposed to radiation, providing a way to measure and track radiation exposure over time. This helps ensure that radiation doses stay within safe limits and protect workers' health.
What type of radiation does the ozone protect us from?
Ultraviolet radiation.
Do sunglasses protect you from radiation?
no
What are the best ways to protect against effects of exposure to radiation?
Radiation
How can to protect yourself from radiation?
You can protect yourself from radiation by wearing gloves and a mask. It is also helpful to stay away from areas that are contaminated by radiation. The only way to be 100% sure you will not be affected by radiation is to wear a radiation suit.
What are best ways to protect against the effects of Sun radiation exposure?
Radiation
How much volume does dirt have?
As much as the dirt that is there.
How are spacecrafts and space suit built to protect astronauts from radiation?
Most radiation in space is particle radiation, which can be stopped dead by pretty much anything. The aluminum hull of the craft, the cloth of the suits. Particle radiation is pretty puny, so even a few sheets of newspaper would do. So much for the Moon Hoax believers who think it would take 6 feet of lead to protect the astronauts!
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
What effect does dust and dirt have on earths radiation?
They tends to block incoming solar radiation, thereby cooling the surface. They don't really impact Earth's longwave radiation.
What absorbs ultraviolet radiation and helps protect the Earth from its harmful effects?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation and helps protect the Earth from its harmful effects.
How can astronauts protect from radiation?
Astronauts can be protected from radiation by their suits. The space suits are designed for it only.
The best way to protect against the effects of what exposure are time distance and shielding?
Radiation
