International Ozone Trends Panel

Report of the International Ozone Trends Panel 1988, Global Ozone Research and Monitoring Project Report No. 18, World Meteorological Organization, Geneva, Switzerland, 1988. 

Information contained in the International Ozone Trends Panel Report [WMO, (1988)] and supported by more recent information including the ozone trend results from analysis of the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data [Stolarski, (1991)] provides compelling evidence that production and use of CFCs should be phased out to reduce risk of ozone depletion. In 1990 the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement regarding CFC production and use, was strengthened to require a phaseout of production in developed countries by 2000 and by 2010 in developing countries.
