Measurements with open air ionization chambers require temperature and pressure correction to account for the change in the mass of air in the chamber volume, which changes with the ambient temperature and pressure. The chamber's internal volume must be kept completely dry, and the vented type uses a desiccant to help with this. A gas ionization chamber measures the charge from the number of ion pairs created within a gas caused by incident radiation.
