Montreal ProtocolOne analysis of the Montreal Protocolindicates that the United States swiftly stepped in to

eliminate all Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)production once

the leading American corporate producer of CFCs, DuPont,had developed an alternative

The success of the Montreal Protocol was eased by the

small number of industries affected by a CFC ban and the

insignificant economic impact of the chemical.
