Abstract

The article presents the use of a closed-chamber method used for measuring the size of exhalation gases from the soil. The paper presents the assumptions of the method, the measuring kit and information regarding the conversion of the gas concentration in the measuring chamber into the amount of gases emitted from the soil. The authors presented a way of converting concentration of emission gases (for example CO₂) in [ppm] units into the exhalation values [mg (CO₂) x m⁻² x h⁻¹], which are more convenient for comparing the results of environmental tests. The work also includes guidelines for conducting the field measurements and allows one to estimate the size of the exchange of gases between soil and atmosphere.
