Summary: | Man, with its activities,
produces and uses substances that have negative
impact on the environment and the human health,
and can cause an economic damage. Consequently,
they have a great impact on quality of life. Among
the most harmful chemicals are Ozone Depleting
Substances that are subject of regulation with
international conventions. This Paper supports the
fact that each country has to undertake national
efforts for ozone depleting substances reduction
and elimination. In that respect, the general
objective of the Paper is to present the Macedonian
unique experience regarding its efforts to reduce or
eliminate these substances. The following two
aspects were subject to the research: national
legislation which regulates the Ozone Depleting
Substances import and export as well as the
implementation of the projects that resulted with
the elimination of Ozone Depleting Substances
quantities in the period 1995 – 2010. The research
outcomes confirm the starting research hypothesis
i.e. that with adequately created and implemented
national action, the amount of Ozone Depleting
Substances consumption can dramatically fall. |
