Description:
The smog chamber facilities of the University of California, Riverside were used to collect experimental data to assess the effects of multi-day irradiations on photochemical oxidant formation. Two chambers were used during this program: a 6,400-l indoor Teflon chamber with blacklight irradiation and a 50,000-l dual-mode outdoor Teflon chamber that used natural sunlight as the light source. A total of 28 indoor and 55 outdoor chamber experiments were completed in this study. In this volume, the experimental facility, methods of procedure and analytical techniques are described and the results are summarized and discussed. The data obtained are suitable for use in developing and testing kinetic mechanisms of photochemical smog formation.
