Answer:

Beta particles and neutrons

Explanation:

Lead is not particular good for shielding beta particles and neutrons. Lead shielding is used for shielding x-rays and gamma-rays due to its high density and atomic mass.

Materials made with lead are used by people dealing with all kinds of radioactive particles to prevent radioactive poisonings.

But lead cannot effectively protect against beta particles and neutrons.
