What Are the Challenges and Opportunities Presented by the Montreal Protocol in Toxicology?
While the Montreal Protocol is hailed as a success, challenges remain, especially in ensuring compliance and addressing illegal production and trade of ODS. In the context of toxicology, ongoing surveillance and research are necessary to monitor the long-term health and environmental impacts of both phased-out substances and their replacements. The protocol also presents opportunities for toxicologists to contribute to the development of safer, more sustainable chemicals and to influence future policy-making in chemical management.
