What Does ODP Stand For?
ODP stands for Ozone Depletion Potential
Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) is a measure used to estimate the impact of different substances on the depletion of the ozone layer. It indicates the relative effectiveness of a compound in contributing to ozone depletion compared to a reference substance, typically trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11), which has an ODP of 1. Higher ODP values signify a greater potential for ozone layer damage, guiding regulatory decisions and environmental policies aimed at protecting the stratospheric ozone.
