Guide for National Ozone officers

Abstract

This guide is a summary of the many important issues that concern a National Ozone Officer (NOO) and the international agencies that assist the NOO. The NOO’s own Government as well as the international agencies are involved in the protection of the ozone layer. our government has ratified the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and has committed itself to reduce in stages, and finally phase out. the production and consumption of these substances by fixed dates. If the government does not fulfil these commitments, it will be held to be in non-compliance with serious consequences for the country.
