Controlled substances and other source gases
This chapter provides an update on scientific progress since the previous Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion (WMO, 1999) regarding ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) in the atmosphere. This includes a discussion of the latest available data for observed trends in the troposphere and stratosphere, emissions, lifetimes, Ozone Depletion Potentials (ODPs), and Global Warming Potentials (GWPs). On the basis of this updated informaion, we relate observations of ODSs in the atmosphere to expectations, and discuss the evidence that the Montreal Protocol is effectively reducing ozone-depleting gases in the atmosphere.
