Samoa: Consumption of ozone-depleting substances was 0.01 ODP tonnes in 2021. ◆ Volatile
Consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Samoa, 1986–2021
Source: UN Environment Programme (2023) – processed by Our World in Data. Measured in ODP tonnes.
Analysis
In 2021, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Samoa stood at 0.01 ODP tonnes. That is the lowest value across all 33 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 75.0% on the previous year and down 96.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Samoa peaked at 6.4 ODP tonnes in 1999 and was at its lowest, 0.01 ODP tonnes, in 2018.
Samoa ranks 136th of 168 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Consumption of various controlled substances. These include Bromochloromethane (BCM), Carbon Tetrachloride (CTC), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Methyl Bromide (MB), Methyl Chloroform (TCA) and Other Fully Halogenated CFCs. We assign zero to missing values for a given (year, country, chemical) triple. This is due to technical reasons, so that we are able to plot this variable using our Grapher stacked are charts.
