SCHEDULE XXI Regulation 13(2)(b) OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES (ODS) Several chemicals are classified as ozone depleting substances (ODSs) and are scheduled for phase-out under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Nigeria's date for phase out is Jan 2010. Examples of these substances include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) ; halons; 1, I, I -trichloroethane (methyl chloroform); carbon tetrachloride; hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs ); hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs); and methyl bromide. They are currently used in a variety of applications including : domestic, commercial, and process refrigeration (CFCs and HCFCs ); domestic, commercial, and motor vehicle air conditioning (CFCs and HCFCs) ; for manufacturing foam products (CFCs); for solvent cleaning applications (CFCs, HCFCs, methyl chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride); as aerosol propellants (CFCs); in fire protection systems (halons and HBFCs);and as crop fumigants (methyl bromide).No new systems or processes should be installed using CFCs, halons, 1, 1, 1 -trichloroethane, carbon 1 tetrachloride, methyl bromide or HBFCs. , HCFCs should only be considered as interim/bridging alternatives as determined by the National Ozone office of the Federal Ministry of Environment. Additional infonnation is available through the Montreal Protocol Secretariat web site available at: http://ozone.unep.org MADE at Abuja this 28th day of April, 2011.
