First thought... rather then Tyvek, wrap your house with carbon-fiber mat. And install nitrogen-filled double-sided windows. That outta burn-in the display monitor, with all that brightness.

Wait... are we actually discussing how to use low atomic-number items to shield from government x-rays?! Maybe the tin-foil hat group really wasn't off...
Makes no sense. Air is 80% nitrogen ad 20% oxygen.

Any organic material is a carbon compound.

What is the point of looking for helium ans neon? These are inert gases and cannot do any damage.
