Montreal protocol on Ozone depleting substances (ODS)

 
Montreal protocol was designed to reduce usage and consumption of ozone depleting substance. Now it is considered as most successful environment protection action which controls the release of ozone depleting agents in to the atmosphere. The chemicals that produce during production of other useful goods which cause adverse or deadly effect on health of ecosystem or wildlife are called as phase out chemicals. This protocol is to set up a list of so called phase out chemicals and to explain the serious problems that we are going to face in future and take preventive step to take control the production of this phase out chemicals.

            By the effect of pollution caused by every country there was a notorious problems among themselves and finally all together decide to stop the upcoming problems by taking a strict agreement.  Every nation get together in Montreal, Canada on September 16th to take this agreement and this day is called as international day for the protection of Ozone layer. 

The Montreal protocol announced 96 chemicals among thousands of chemical suggested by different countries across 240 industrial sectors. It will give financial assistance to developing countries for more than 2.5 billions of dollars for producing alternate chemical production instead of phase out chemicals 

Recent achievement of this Montreal protocol is that it made US ,china and 20 other big developed nation to sign an agreement to stop release of HFC’s and other climate damaging substance in to the atmosphere. I think Montreal protocol is considering developed and developing countries and pollution making countries but they should focus on under developed countries because of less financial assistance they are using the phase out chemicals.
