Bromine regulations (see below). Poisonous bromomethane was widely used as pesticide to fumigate soil and to fumigate housing, by the tenting method. Ethylene bromide was similarly used. These volatile organobromine compounds are all now regulated as ozone depletion agents. The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer scheduled the phase out for the ozone depleting chemical by 2005, and organobromide pesticides are no longer used (in housing fumigation they have been replaced by such compounds as sulfuryl fluoride, which contain neither the chlorine or bromine organics which harm ozone). Before the Montreal protocol in 1991 (for example) an estimated
Wiley protocol at separate times throughout the period. The protocol is promoted as differing from conventional hormone replacement therapy in several ways: The protocol also includes a follow-up program to monitor the serum of the bioidentical hormones. Wiley has stated that in her opinion, the most important aspect of the protocol is the specific schedule and levels of the hormone doses rather than their bioidentical nature. A patent was granted for the protocol in 2011 for the specific blend of hormones and dosing method. Concerns have been raised that serum levels may not be an acceptable marker for transdermally administered hormones, that
