unpressurized
Open to atmosphere
Unpressurized describes a space or container not maintained at a controlled pressure level.
Aircraft cabins are pressurized for passenger comfort at high altitudes; unpressurized cargo holds are not.
The unpressurized compartment couldn't safely carry live animals.
In spacecraft, unpressurized areas require astronauts to wear spacesuits.
