Describes a method for the investigation of ventilation rate in mechanically ventilated closed rooms. The room air is labelled with a radioactive isotope and the ventilation rate inferred from the reduction in radioactivity found by repeated sampling at different locations . Notes the results apply only when the room air is well mixed. Defines a parameter, the "ventilation factor" which describes the variation in ventilation rate. Gives examples of the use of this method.
