Alpha and beta radiation are due to radioactive decay that causes particles to be released.  Use of nuclear weapons and nuclear power are sources of these dangerous particles.  Alpha radiation is not penetrating.  It does not even pass through a piece of paper, but it is dangerous if it gets inside the body due to inhalation, ingestion, or exposure of an open wound to contaminants. Beta radiation is lighter and faster moving than alpha radiation so it more penetrating than alpha but not nearly as perforating as gamma radiation which is composed of photons, not particulates. All forms have different rates of decay and all pose slightly different hazards. Being careful is the first protective step one can take, and using herbs and alchemical substances can also reduce risks.
