Method of closed-loop continuous measurement of radon exhalation rate from soil surfaces
摘要
Traditional open-loop methods frequently overestimate soil radon exhalation rates due to pressure differentials. To address this, this study evaluates the reliability of a closed-loop continuous measurement method using RAD7 detectors at three distinct locations. We compared exhalation rates derived from the non-linear fitting of initial 3 h concentration data against those calculated from subsequent long-term monitoring. The results demonstrate a high degree of consistency between initial fitted values and long-term averages. These findings confirm the stability and reliability of the closed-loop method for extended continuous measuring of soil radon exhalation. This approach provides an effective methodology for radon exhalation rate surveillance.
