Counting the Carbon: Quantifying Financial and Environmental Implications of Wasted Inhaler Doses in the Hospital Setting
This study showed significant inhaler waste in the hospital setting, which contributes to the health care-related carbon footprint without contributing to patient care. These results raise important questions about how to continue providing high-quality patient care while minimizing carbon footprint and health care costs.
