About this document
Life Cycle Environmental Impacts of Inhalers by stardust.m002 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study that evaluates the life cycle environmental impacts of different types of inhalers. The study finds that an inhaler using HFC-152a propellant has the lowest impacts for most categories, while a dry powder inhaler is worst for some impacts but best for climate change. Considering annual inhaler use in the UK, they generate 1.34 Mt CO2 eq., largely from HFC-134a inhalers. Replacing HFC-134a with HFC-152a could reduce climate impacts by 90-92%, while switching to dry powder inh
