It is pointed out that a quantitative understanding of the mechanisms by which slowly moving monopoles lose energy when passing through matter is important both for a description of monopole interactions in the solar system and for the interpretation and design of noninduction experiments. The present investigation is concerned with a calculation of this energy loss for simple atoms. It is found that the calculated energy loss for atomic hydrogen and helium is larger by an order of magnitude or more than that found in previous studies for other materials. The study takes into account also Zeeman splittings, diamagnetic shifts, and crossings of the energy levels caused by the interaction of the atomic electrons with the monopole magnetic field. A slow monopole passing through a hydrogen atom is considered, taking into account the effects due to electron spin. Atomic helium is found to be of interest as a practical substance for a noninduction experiment.
