Abstract
Air pollution in California is an environmental problem which has led to much legislation and regulation in the past few decades. A pollutant of major concern is ozone, which is a product of the photochemical reactions of hydrocarbons and NOx in the atmosphere. The primary sources of these reactants in metropolitan areas are mobile sources — automobiles, trucks, and buses. However, in the relatively rural area of the southern San Joaquin valley in Kern County the primary source of atmospheric hydrocarbons is the oil production industry. The scope of the pollution problem in this region is large and ozone standards set by both the EPA and the state are routinely exceeded.
