I wonder what the overall concentration of alcohol released per second is. > 200 to 1,000 tons of ethanol emissions every year. 200 to 1000 tons / year = 200

I wonder what the overall concentration of alcohol released per second is. > 200 to 1,000 tons of ethanol emissions every year. 200 to 1000 tons / year = 200 to 1000 tons * 907185 (g per ton) / (365 * 24 * 60 * 60 s per year) = 5.7 to 28g / s Very roughly the equivalent of one shot of vodka every second (presume 1.5 fl oz = 44g total and vodka is half-ish alcohol). But, that's spread out over "hundreds of thousands of barrels". So each barrel is releasing ~100-300 micrograms of alcohol per second. I'm sure it's measurable in the air, but capturable? Hard to say.
