GRBs are brief flashes of soft -ray radiation (100 keV), discovered in the 1970’s, the origin of which was not known until 1997

atmospheric extinction
The amount of atmospheric extinction depends on the altitude of an object, being lowest at the zenith and at a maximum near the horizon. It is calculated by multiplying the standard atmospheric extinction curve by the mean airmass calculated over the duration of the observation:
Airmass = sec(z), z = zenith angle

Dust suppression along given sight lines is estimated fromCOBE Infrared maps:

Neutral gas in our Galaxy absorbs thru photoelectric effect. This is predominantly neutral hydrogen (HI): the Lyman limitoccurs at 912 Å = 13.6 eV
At frequencies higher than 13.6 eV part of the X-ray flux is Absorbed, in a frequency-dependent way
Morrison & McCammon (1983, ApJ, 270, 119) have computed this dependence in the 0.03 - 10 keV energy interval, taking into account cosmic abundances
