Learn About the Environmental Impact of Inhalers
February 2024
Metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) generate the most greenhouse gas emissions among all inhaler types.
Pressurized metered-dose inhalers (Ventolin, etc) use a hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellant to eject the med from the cannister with each actuation.
These inhalers create a large carbon footprint...a 200-dose inhaler has the same footprint as driving 137 kilometres in a car.
