Ozone Layer was signed, which set a timetable for phasing out the production and use of CFCs, including halons. The date for phaseout of the manufacture of halons according to the latest Copenhagen Meeting was January 1, 1994 (UNEP, Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer—Final Act 1987, 1987).

The uncertainties associated with the data base of an individual river basin are compounded when the intent is to provide a global perspective. This point is made in a recent bound volume of UNEP data in which a number of data interpretation limitations are sited. Quality of data varies from one individual reporting entity to another and the precision of the data is usually not possible to ascertain. Thus direct comparisons between data from one country, or even one laboratory to the next are not always possible. Since uncertainties associated with the data (variability, accuracy, precision, etc.) are often not specified, the significance of the data may be difficult to determine and no valid interpretation of the data may therefore be possible. It comes as no surprise that these and similar data from other data bases are often, if not usually, inadequate to establish cause and effect relationships.

Concise International Chemical Assessment Documents (CICADs) are published by the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) — a cooperative programme of the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). CICADs have been developed from the Environmental Health Criteria documents (EHCs), more than 200 of which have been published since 1976 as authoritative documents on the risk assessment of chemicals.

Mercury (Hg) contamination is widespread in water, in surficial soils and sediments, and in the tissues of plants and animals in ecosystems around the globe. Once deposited to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, some inoiganic mercury is transformed into methylmercury (MeHg), a highly toxic compoimd that bioaccumulates efficiently in food webs (Wiener et al. 2003). As a result of the toxicity of MeHg to wildlife and humans, many nations are interested in reducing environmental mercury contamination and associated biotic exposure (UNEP 2002).
