Atmospheric simulation chambers enable the study of atmospheric processes, related to gas-aerosol reactivity, particle formation, aging with oxidants or acidification, and the influence of relative humidity or temperature. The Foundation of Research and Technology-Hellas Atmospheric Simulation Chamber (FORTH-ASC) is a custom-built 10 m3 Teflon reactor, surrounded by aluminum walls covered with ultraviolet fluorescent lamps (to simulate sunlight conditions), and housed within a temperature-controlled room (Florou et al., 2023). The system includes three sets of inlets designed for injecting or collecting samples as required by the experimental setup.
