Soil Radon Exhalation Rate as a Function of Rainfall and Soil Suction Pressure

It was been found that the contents of water in soil played a significant role in the rate of radon exhalation. Soil suction pressure, which is related to water content, is also related to radon exhalation rate. As the amount of rainfall increases, both the rate of radon emanation from soil and the...
