The acceleration of climate change due to human activities demands urgent action at all levels. In the healthcare sector, the use of inhalers with high global warming potential represents a significant source of emissions, further exacerbated by low recycling rates. The transition to lower-impact devices and improved waste management are priority actions. In this context, community pharmacists play a key role-not only in optimizing inhalation therapy and educating patients, but also in reducing the associated carbon footprint-thus promoting a more sustainable healthcare practice.
人类活动导致的气候变化加速,要求各级采取紧急行动。在医疗保健领域,使用具有高全球变暖潜能值的吸入器是一个重要的排放源,而低回收率进一步加剧了这一问题。向低影响设备过渡并改善废物管理是优先行动。在这种背景下,社区药剂师发挥着关键作用——不仅在优化吸入治疗和教育患者方面,而且在减少相关碳足迹方面——从而促进更可持续的医疗实践。
