The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer logo was developed to provide a distinct brand for the two treaties across various communication assets and applications. The visual identity guideline is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of applications and correct use of the logo.

Stratospheric ozone (O3) losses and consequent increases in surface ultraviolet (UV) radiation remain a health concern due to close association with skin cancers and cataracts. This study estimated how emissions of ozone‐depleting substances (ODS) affect, via O3 reductions, surface UV radiation and associated health impacts in Australia compared to the United States. We used climatological atmospheric data and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Atmospheric Health Effects Framework (AHEF) model to estimate these effects for historic and projected ODS emissions.

TheMontreal Protocol on Substances thatDeplete theOzone Layer has greatly restricted the global production and consumption of long-lived ozonedepleting substances (ODS).However,ODS used or consumed as feedstocks in the manufacture of other chemicals are excluded from restrictions. This exclusion was based on the assumption that emission rates of feedstocks were only 0.5% of the amount produced and that feedstock production would decline in the future, with remaining emissions too small to significantly affect the stratospheric ozone or its recovery. In sharp contrast, feedstock emissions are now assessed as being substantially higher (typically 3.6% of production), and feedstock production and use has been rising rather than falling.
