 as much as 20% of O3 production in the valley is from ethanol and its photochemical by-product acetaldehyde.

Goal
Detection of Wineries

During the wine making

process, the fermentation of the grapes produces ethanol and CO2

Andrew Hart 2009 SARP
Positive correlation

between dimethyl sulOide (DMS) and ethanol indicates the presence of a winery

Ethanol vs Methanol in Airports and Dairies

Conclusion
Ethanol is tracer to detect dairies

Ethanol vs. methane and ethanol vs. methanol ratios can help conOirm the presence of a dairy

A new way to detect wineries is needed

Elevated levels of ethanol, methanol, methane and CO in

airports
There are many sources of ethanol in Southern California

and the Central Valley that lead to the production of ozone

Future Projects
Investigate wineries SARP 2014 Field Trip Find a tracer for wine based ethanol emissions Examine missed approached data Find a tracer for fuel based ethanol emissions
