From the supplier: The next obstacle to be surmounted in atmospheric ozone depletion after the effective reduction of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) is the use of the pesticide methyl bromide. The bromine in methyl bromide is 50 times more destructive than the chlorine in CFCs. However, farmers in California have succeeded in convincing state legislators to postpone a ban on methyl bromide because of its usefulness in agriculture. Farmers argued that the ban would have paralyzed the state's farm industry.
