Radiation shielding glass, also known as, X-ray glass, is lead glass used to provide shielding protection by absorbing the energy released during radiation. The shielding effect is produced owing to the use of lead and barium, and the glasses can be either optically transparent or have a slight yellow tint. These glasses protect technicians in the field of radiation therapy, medical laboratories, and nuclear applications. Radiation shielding glasses provide an excellent barrier against harmful gamma and x-rays emitted during radiation. They are manufactured in a variety of sizes, shapes and thicknesses depending on the intended application and in most cases, the level of shielding depends on the thickness of the glass.

Exposure to radiation can have severe harmful effects on humans and the entire ecosystem, as well. Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy to affect the atoms in living cells and thereby damage their genetic material (DNA). If the damage is not repaired correctly, a cell may die or eventually become cancerous. High level of radiation exposure delivered over a short period of time can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting within hours and can sometimes result in death. High level of radiation exposure delivered over a short period of time can cause symptoms such as nausea and vomiting within hours and can sometimes result in death. It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease which provides a strong reason for the adoption of radiation shielding glasses in various high-risk applications.

Global Radiation Shielding Glass Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2018“2028
