A continuous measurement system, with a ventilation-type accumulation chamber, was developed for radon exhalation rate determination. A reasonable sampling flow rate for the measurement system was determined by comparing the values obtained by the system with those obtained by a grab sampling method. The sampling flow rate of passage through the scintillation cell from the accumulation chamber was varied from 0.05 to 2.0 l min(-1). The difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the accumulation chamber increased as the sampling flow rate became large, and the estimated radon exhalation rate also increased with the sampling flow rate. From these results, a reasonable sampling flow rate was estimated to be less than 0.2 l min(-1).
