Nitrous oxide is now recognised as an important contributor to the 'greenhouse' effect. Each year the medical profession unwittingly adds a very small burden of this gas to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the long lifetime of nitrous oxide means that all emissions into the atmosphere are significant. By making small changes in their practices, anaesthetists are well-placed to help reduce the potential environmental damage.
一氧化二氮如今被认为是“温室”效应的一个重要促成因素。每年，医疗行业都在不知不觉中向大气中增加了这种气体的一小部分负担。不幸的是，一氧化二氮的寿命很长，这意味着所有排放到大气中的气体都是相当可观的。通过在操作中做出一些小的改变，麻醉师完全有能力帮助减少潜在的环境破坏。
