The
Thirteenth Meeting of the Parties decided:
1. to request Parties to inform industry and
users about the concerns surrounding the use and emissions of nPB and the
potential threat that these might pose to the ozone layer;
2. to request Parties to urge industry and users
to consider limiting the use of nPB to applications where more economically
feasible and environmentally friendly alternatives are not available, and to
urge them also to take care to minimize exposure and emissions during use and
disposal;
3. to request the Technology and Economic
Assessment Panel to report annually on nPB use and emissions.
