A method of measuring the surface flux of a component of a soil gas comprises placing a chamber for collecting said gas sealably in contact with a soil the chamber initially containing atmospheric gas. Then, the chamber is connected to a purging apparatus to purge the chamber of all measurable traces of the component. Then the soil is permitted to enter the chamber. The method uses a system for measuring the surface flux of the component. The system comprises a chamber having an open bottom for collecting soil gas, a venting port, an exhaust port having a valve and means to purge the chamber of the component.
