Consumption of Ozone-Depleting Substances - Methyl Bromide
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Ozone-depleting substances are any substance containing chlorine or bromine that destroys the stratospheric ozone layer.
Description
The stratospheric ozone absorbs most of the biologically damaging ultraviolet radiation. Methyl bromide (CH3Br) is used as a fumigant for high-value crops, pest control, and quarantine treatment of agricultural commodities awaiting export.
Total world annual consumption is about 70,000 tonnes, most of it in the industrialized countries. It takes about 0.7 years to break down.
