We designed and developed an activated charcoal cumulated adsorption method for measuring radon exhalation rate from soil to perform rapid observation at many sites in a large area. Based on the data of measurements on the radon exhalation facility and real-time soil radon exhalation rate in the field, we studied the types of the activated charcoal and sampling device, accumulated exposure time and radon effective decay constant. We investigated the soil radon exhalation in a university yard (sandy loam) from 2002-2003. The average of radon exhalation rate is 20.15 mBq·m-2·s-1; the standard deviation is 3.55 mBq·m-2·s-1, and the variety ranges from 13.49 to 26.75 mBq·m-2·s-1. By comparison, the results of activated charcoal absorption and an equipment of electrostatic collection are coincident with each other. The results revealed that the method of activated charcoal absorption is practical, feasible and rapid for measuring the 222Rn exhalation rate from soil in the field.
