Abstract

The protection of Earth's stratospheric ozone (O3) is an ongoing process under the auspices of the universally ratified Montreal Protocol and its Amendments and adjustments. A critical part of this process is the assessment of the environmental issues related to changes in O3. The United Nations Environment Programme's Environmental Effects Assessment Panel provides annual scientific evaluations of some of the key issues arising in the recent collective knowledge base. This current update includes a comprehensive assessment of the incidence rates of skin cancer, cataract and other skin and eye diseases observed worldwide; the effects of UV radiation on tropospheric oxidants, and air and water quality; trends in breakdown products of fluorinated chemicals and recent information of their toxicity; and recent technological innovations of building materials for greater resistance to UV radiation. These issues span a wide range of topics, including both harmful and beneficial effects of exposure to UV radiation, and complex interactions with climate change. While the Montreal Protocol has succeeded in preventing large reductions in stratospheric O3, future changes may occur due to a number of natural and anthropogenic factors. Thus, frequent assessments of potential environmental impacts are essential to ensure that policies remain based on the best available scientific knowledge.

蒙特利尔议定书》和保护平流层臭氧层对人类健康和环境的持续惠益。
保护地球平流层臭氧(O3)是在普遍批准的《蒙特利尔议定书》及其修正案和调整书的支持下持续开展的一项工作。这一进程的一个关键部分是评估与臭氧层变化有关的环境问题。联合国环境规划署环境影响评估小组每年都会对近期集体知识库中出现的一些关键问题进行科学评估。本次更新包括对全球皮肤癌、白内障及其他皮肤和眼部疾病发病率的全面评估;紫外线辐射对对流层氧化物、空气和水质的影响;含氟化学品分解产物的趋势及其毒性的最新信息;以及为提高抗紫外线辐射能力而对建筑材料进行的最新技术革新。这些问题涉及广泛的主题,包括暴露于紫外线辐射的有害和有益影响,以及与气候变化之间复杂的相互作用。虽然《蒙特利尔议定书》成功地防止了平流层臭氧的大量减少,但未来的变化可能会由于一些自然和人为因素而发生。因此,必须经常评估潜在的环境影响,以确保政策始终以现有的最佳科学知识为基础。
