Measurement technique:
Chamber photolysis is typically done with a filtered broad-band Xe-arc lamp, which provides near UV radiation (290-400 nm).

Photolysis frequency of NO₂ with max lighting [Hz]:

Photolysis frequency of H₂O₂ with max lighting [Hz]:

Photolysis frequency of O₃ with max lighting [Hz]:

Total number of lights:
1

Light percentage on:
100

Light intensity:

Light source type:

Position and pattern of lights:
Xe arc lamp photolyzes along the length of the chamber.

Data collection description:
Cl2 or CH3ONO photolysis rates are determined by monitoring loss rates of VOCs in photolysis of Cl2/VOC/air or CH3ONO/VOC/NO/air mixtures. VOC data are collected every 5-10 min using FTIR, and loss rate is used to determine J(Cl2) / J(CH3ONO).

Data analysis description:
A simple box model is needed to account for OH regeneration, or loss of oxidant due to reaction with VOC oxidation products.
