INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON OZONE DEPLETION

Most of the countries have seen the threat created by Ozone

Depletion and had agreed to a treaty called Montreal
Protocol. This protocol will help humans to stop making and
using ozone-eating chemicals.
The Montreal Protocol was enacted in 1987 and was signed
in by American President Ronald Reagan which banned CFC
refrigerants in air conditioners and refrigerators. This was
designed to help protect the ozone layer.
As quoted by Kofi Annan, Former General Secretary of the
United Nations, Perhaps the single most successful
international agreement to date has been the Montreal
Protocol.
PREDICTIONS ON OZONE LAYER

 Scientists did predict that ozone depletion should peak around 2010.
 Reduction in release of CFCs and other ozone-eating substances will heal
the ozone layer.
 By year 2065, stratospheric ozone should return to the amount present in
1980.
 Until then we can expect higher levels of UV Radiation on the planet earth.
MEASURES AGAINST OZONE DEPLETION

 Less usage of all prohibited substances as decided in Montreal Protocol.

 To make sure that we take proper precaution to avoid bad health conditions
due to exposure to harmful UV rays.
 To reduce vehicular emissions which when gets mixed with air, causes
ozone depletion.
 To proceed towards a better earth by implementing the idea of “Sustainable
Development”.
