text: This would appear to be a reference to the "Bragg Effect", the phenomenon whereby charged particles lose energy during penetration of different media.
text: Polonium-210 cannot penetrate the skin, and the particles usually lose all their energy after traveling through a few centimeters of air.
text: Another way of looking at this is - as the particle loses energy, it slows down, and as it slows down, it interacts more strongly with surrounding atoms, causing it to decelerate even more rapidly.
