Our chamber is a flexible 7 m3 Teflon FEP bag housed in a temperature controlled room (5 – 30 oC) . The chamber room is equipped with 20 UV lights ( max emission at ~ 350 nm) to simulate solar light necessary to initiate photochemistry and a zero air system to fill and clean the chamber. The chamber can be used to simulate atmospheric chemistry under controlled conditions. it is primarily used to investigate Secondary Organic Aerosol (SOA) formation. The chamber is connected to the adjacent Atmospheric Mass Spectrometry Lab and to one of CARF’s Molecular Mass Spectrometry laboratories.
