News and current affairs

Ground-level ozone pollution kills more than 150,000 people per year, while global warming causes another 141,000 deaths.

Many toxic substances are released into the environment, even some that are not toxic but nonetheless are highly damaging - for example, the chlorofluorocarbons that caused the Antarctic ozone hole (and which are now regulated).

Things could have become much worse: the ozone-destroying properties of halogens have been studied since the mid-1970's.

If it had turned out that chlorine behaved chemically like bromine, the ozone hole would by then have been a global, year-round phenomenon, not just an event of the Antarctic spring.

The phase-out of ozone depleting substances through the Montreal Protocol, for instance, shows what can be done when the international community works together.

One model is the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, which has succeeded spectacularly in reducing levels of chlorofluorocarbons, highlighting the continued potential of inclusive multilateralism.

This was especially strange, given that Australia has been one of the big beneficiaries of the Montreal convention, which banned ozone-destroying gases.

Holes in the ozone layer exposed Australians to cancer-causing radiation.

Another serious problem is the use of ozone-depleting substances, such as halons and freons.

Halogenated fire retardants are added to the fuel tanks of combat airplanes, causing massive damage to the stratospheric ozone layer.

Some 60-80,000 combat missions were reportedly been flown in the Iraq war, releasing an estimated 2,000 tons of ozone-destroying halons.

Following international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol on the Protection of the Ozone Layer, global emissions of ozone-depleting substances have otherwise been substantially reduced.

To protect the stratospheric ozone layer, international agreements have been reached to ban the use and trade of the ozone-destroying chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's).

The world can increasingly focus aid on the main environmental problems - indoor and outdoor air pollution, along with lead and ozone pollution - that cause almost all environment-related deaths.

The content of chlorine (from decay of CFC's) in the stratosphere has leveled off, and two years ago the ozone hole over the Antarctic was the smallest in decades (and broken up into two).

However, new reports show a thinning of the ozone layer over the Arctic, and last year's Antarctic ozone hole was as large and deep as ever.

Some features in the conventions for protecting the ozone layer constitute holes of a legal kind.

Then, when it was discovered that certain chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were causing the depletion of ozone in the atmosphere, the same groups launched a nasty campaign to discredit that science, too.
