1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone
Layer
The Montreal Protocol- Provisions
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform--are to be phased out by 2000 (2005 for methyl chloroform)
Freeze at 1986 levels in mid 1989 and 20% cut in 1993
Production and consumption of CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114, CFC- 115 were to be reduced by 50% of the 1986 levels by 1998
Production of halon-1211, halon-1301 and halon-2402 were to be brought back to 1986 levels by 1992
Montreal Protocol- Developing Countries
“Article 5 Countries”Given additional 10 years to complyAllowed to increase consumption by 0.3kg
per capita in the interim
