      abstract = {Methyl bromide has been named as an ozone depleting  chemical and there is a risk that it may
be banned in the  near future.
This paper describes an economic evaluation of  an ACIAR-funded project which is proposing
to find  technologies to replace methyl bromide in quarantine  fumigation of timber . The paper
uses the concepts of  consumer and producer surplus to estimate the net welfare  changes
associated with the replacement of methyl bromide  in the fumigation of timber for export.
The evaluation  includes the following impacts of a technology to replace  methyl bromide:
• the human health impacts due to a  reduction in the incidence of UVB radiation induced
medical  conditions;
~ the impact on the cost of quarantine  treatment of timber in the countries collaborating
in the  research project; and
• the impacts on the world price of  processed timber products and the trade dependent
price  spillovers to other countries and regions in the world.
The  paper estimates the global welfare human health benefits  of, and the internal rate of return
on research to find a  replacement of methyl bromide with a non-ozone depleting  technology.},
