A method is developed to measure 222Rn exhalation rate on soil surfaces using an ionizationchamber radon monitor (AlphaGUARD PQ2000, Genitron Instruments GmbH, Frankfurt,Germany) in passive-diffusion mode.We have developed a compartmental model to describe time variation of radon concentration in theionization chamber. This model consists of two compartmens, one for the external radon field, andone for the ionization chamber.
