Atmospheric pollution has many different detrimental impacts on air
quality at urban, regional and global scales. Large volume
photoreactors (often referred to as smog or simulation chambers)
have been used very effectively to investigate and understand many
varied aspects of atmospheric chemistry related to air pollution
problems. Photochemical smog formation, which was first observed
around 1945 in Los Angeles, is now a major environmental problem
for all industrialised and densely populated regions of the world.
Over the years many different modelling and experimental tools have
been developed to analyse and simulate the complex chemical
processes associated with tropspheric photooxidant formation. Work
in environmental chambers has played a key role in the development
of our understanding of the atmospheric chemistry associated with
pollution problems on local, regional and global scales. Chamber
observations have also been used in connection with environmental
policy issues. In general they are used for validation of
atmospheric chemical models, studies of chemical reaction
mechanisms and as a direct means to test the possible impact of
specific chemical compounds on air quality under simulated ambient
conditions New large smog chamber installations have been recently
developed in the US (Riverside, California), Europe (Julich,
Germany) and Japan, and a large number of smaller scale laboratory
chambers are in operation around the world. Over the years there
have been numerous new technical developments related to
environmental chamber facilities such as the design of the chambers
