PROTECTION OF THE OZONE-LAYER OF EARTH IN THE CZECH-REPUBLIC

As a signatory of Montreal Protocoll and of its amendments the Czech R epublic accepted pertinent legislation (Law Nr 86 - 1995) which includ es the regulating rules for the production and consumption of substanc es depleting the ozone layer. These are comparable to the above-mentio ned international documents. In the years between 1986 and 1996 the pr oduction and consumption of fully halogenated chlorofluorohydrocarbons (CFC), of tetrachlormethane and methylchloroform was lowered in accor dance with the protocoll resulting finally in their full exclusion. In addition to other branches of economy a considerable activity could b e also observed in the chemical industry in searching for subtitutes o f propelling gases in aerosol products and in preparing capacities for regeneration and recyclization of applied refrigerating media.
