A three-dimensional air quality model with 8 km horizontal resolution was applied to estimate the summertime ozone (O-3) production from mobile sources and fermented livestock feed in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV) during years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. Previous studies have estimated that animal feed emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have greater O-3 formation potential than mobile-source VOC emissions when averaging across the entire SJV. The higher spatial resolution in the current study shows that the proximity of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and VOC emissions from mobile sources enhances their O-3 formation potential. Livestock feed VOC emissions contributed 3-4 ppb of peak O-3 (8-h average) in Tulare County and 1-2 ppb throughout the remainder of the SJV during the CCOS 2000 July-August episode. In total, livestock feed contributed similar to 3.5 tons of the ground level peak O-3 (8 h average) in the SJV region, and mobile VOC contributed similar to 12 tons in this episode. O-3 production from mobile sources is declining over time in response to emissions control plans that call for cleaner fuels and engines with advanced emissions controls. Projecting forward to the year 2020, mobile-source VOC emissions are predicted to produce similar to 3 tons of the ground level peak O-3 (8-h average) and livestock feed VOC emissions are predicted to contribute similar to 2.5 tons making these sources nearly equivalent.
