Exemptions to phaseout have been significant in slowing the process of abatement; many countries have applied for exemptions for some uses, partly on grounds that phaseout is economically infeasible. Data on the US strawberry market are used to investigate grower costs arising from substitution away from methyl bromide, the impact of trends in and characteristics of the demand for fresh ...
Protection of stratospheric ozone, methyl bromide phaseout rule. EPA on Feb. 25 issued a notice of proposed rulemaking which would adopt a schedule for a 25 percent reduction by the end of 1999 of consumption of methyl bromide from 1991 levels. The proposed rule is the first move toward meeting phaseout deadlines in the Montreal Protoc ol, an international treaty to phase out ...
EU and US to clash over phaseout of methyl bromide. Nov 9, 2003 (updated: Jan 29, 2010) A new environmental conflict between the US and the EU is looming over the 15th Meeting of the Parties to ...
· Since this rule exempts methyl bromide for approved critical uses after the phaseout date of January 1, 2005, this is a deregulatory action which will confer a benefit to users of methyl bromide. EPA believes the estimated deregulatory value for users of methyl bromide is between 20 million and 30 million annually. We have therefore concluded that this proposed rule will relieve regulatory ...
In accordance with the Montreal Protocol for ozone depleting substances the total phaseout of methyl bromide use in Australia, except for Critical Use Exemptions (CUEs) and Quarantine and Preshipment (QPS) uses, was to be completed by January 2005. Legislation to ensure that methyl bromide imported into Australia is only used for CUEs and QPS purposes is now in place and administered by the ...
Methyl bromide was added to this list in 1995. The methyl bromide phase out began with freezing production and import of the fumigant at the 1991 use levels. From 1995 to 2005, incremental decreases in use were planned (developing countries have until 2015) with the exception of allowable critical use exemptions (CUE) and quarantine and preshipment exemptions (QPS).
In 1992 a ‚phase out™ of methyl bromide was internationally agreed upon in the Montreal Protocol (on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer). This phase out was completed in developed countries in 2005, however there are some exemptions. An international committee (MBTOC: Methyl Bromide Technical Options Committee) guides the process and recommends certain CUE™s (critical use .
The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer requires a phase out of methyl bromide for appliions other than quarantine and preshipment purposes by January 2005. Methyl bromide is a chemical used to fumigate soil before planting and for postharvest treatment and structural fumigation. It is extremely effective but is also recognised as an ozonedepleting substance.
Methyl Bromide and the Montreal Protocol 1992: Methyl Bromide added to Montreal Protocol 1995: Clean Air Act required phaseout by 2001 1997: and international schedule harmonized to 2005 phaseout with exemptions: Developed countries (nonA5 countries) •: 25% reduction from baseline •: 50% reduction from baseline

Phaseout of Methyl Bromide Is Imminent Currently, the EPA acting under The Clean Air Act has scheduled the domestic phaseout date for production and importation of methyl bromide for January 1, 2001. On September 17, 1997, at the Ninth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, a significant acceleration in the phaseout of the compound by other developed and developing .
· GAO provided information on the phaseout of methyl bromide in the United States, focusing on the: (1) scientific evidence that emissions of methyl bromide are depleting the ozone layer; (2) availability of economical and effective alternatives to the pesticide; (3) effects of banning the pesticide on trade in agricultural commodities; and (4) Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA ...
· Methyl bromide is a toxic and ozonedepleting substance, which India and China require to be used on logs they receive from New Zealand. It is a biosecurity tool, used internationally to kill pests. "The EPA's role in regulating hazardous substances involves carefully balancing environmental, health, economic, and cultural factors," says Dr Chris Hill, General Manager of the EPA's ...
Downloadable! The pesticide methyl bromide is being phased out internationally under the Montreal Protocol. Methyl bromide has been used for over 50 years to control insect, nematodes, pathogens, and weeds. It is used for soil fumigation before planting many fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and agricultural nurseries; for postharvest fumigation of commodities in storage and prior to shipment ...
The 2011 nomination for exemptions from the phaseout of methyl bromide covers 15 crops and their uses, including tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, cucurbits, orchard replants, and postharvest uses (EPA2011 Critical Use Exemption Nominations from the Phaseout of Methyl Bromide). External Links • Int'l Chemical Safety Card • NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards References Agency for ...
Methyl bromide has been identified as one of the chemicals depleting the ozone layer and its phase out was considered a very important step, although preshipment and quarantine uses (about 22% of global methyl bromide use) are exempt from the controls of the Protocol. In non Article 5(1) countries, which includes EU, the ban is in effect from 1 January 2005 onwards with quotas alloed for ...
Methyl bromide as a fumigant is recognised as an important tool for the control of some pests and diseases, particularly quarantine pests of plants and plantderived materials. In some cases, the quarantine use of methyl bromide is critical for preventing spread of plant pests that could have huge economic and/or environmental consequences. Methyl bromide is also a potent ozonedepleting gas ...
