Key factors in phasing out ozone depleting substances.

Author(s) : VOGELSBERG F. A., GIDUMAL S. C.

Summary

Industry has been very responsive in developing alternative technologies, yet several challenges remain. Priorities must be established to determine where to focus resources so that economic disruption is minimized. Factors such as safety, environment and performance must be balanced so that sound decisions in alternative technologies are made. Regulations intended to minimize global warming should consider energy efficiency, and should be based on best available scientific understanding of global warming, still an evolving science. These challenges will be met by industry, scientists, regulators and environmental groups working together as they have been through the Montreal Protocol.
