Turkmenistan has been taking comprehensive and systematic steps to phase out ODS (ozone-depleting substances). — Most ODS are gases that actively contribute to global warming.
Since 1995, 99.95% of the main ODS have been phased out in Turkmenistan. The remaining controlled use of Freon R-22 is expected to be phased out by 2040. /// nCa, 1 October 2024
