Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Organic compounds that have a high vapor pressure and easily form vapors under ambient conditions
Nonmethane Hydrocarbons (NMHCs) Halocarbons Alkyl Nitrates Oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs) 5
Oxygenated Volatile Organic Compounds (OVOCs)
OVOCs are trace gases that are among the family of organic compounds present in the global atmosphere OVOCs oxidize to form local or regional ozone in the presence of NOx in a catalytic process OVOCs can have both positive and negative affects on air quality
alternative additives for fuel e.g. ethanol toxic to inhalation e.g. acrolein

Sources of OVOCs
OVOCs have both primary and secondary sources
e.g. anthropogenic, biogenic, and photooxidation origins
automobile exhaust industrial processes solvent evaporation biomass burning synthesis and emission via plants in the oxidation pathways of other VOCs 7

Winemaking
Fermentation is initiated by adding the juices and skins together, which contain natural yeasts further producing alcohol and carbon dioxide
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a also known wine constituent that is formed during yeast fermentation and wine aging

Correlations of Ethanol with DMS
A strong correlation exists between ethanol and DMS when the main source of ethanol is a winery and an anti-correlation 14 is present when the main source is a dairy
Summary
OVOCs, such as ethanol, oxidize to form local or regional ozone in the presence of NOx in a catalytic process A high correlation observed for ethanol and DMS suggests wineries as the main source of emissions of ethanol An anti-correlation observed for ethanol and DMS suggests dairies as the main source
15
Future Goals
Performing a grid study in the Napa Valley area to better understand and determine the influences of wineries on the emission of ethanol in the Central Valley
