| Statistical concepts and definitions | Ozone-depleting substances: All ozone-depleting substances above zero are, in principle, ozone-depleting substances. In general, they are chemicals containing chlorine and / or bromine, and are considered the most important ODS: they are controlled substances under the Montreal Protocol. A smaller number of ozone-depleting substances had not yet been subject to the Montreal Protocol because they had not been produced or consumed in large quantities, and in most cases the term ozone-depleting substances referred to controlled substances under the Montreal Protocol. Consumption: “Consumption” means production plus imports minus exports of controlled substances (Montreal Protocol, Article 1). Baseline limit: The amount of ozone-depleting substances that have been agreed according to the Montreal Protocol that countries will not exceed consumption or production by group and by country within a specific time period. Ozone depleting capacity: Each controlled substance has a value indicating its effect on the stratospheric ozone layer per unit unit of gas compared to the same power from CFC 11. |
