| Abstract: | Introduction: Anaesthetic gases significantly contribute to the environmental impact of the healthcare sector contributing to around 5%
of hospital emissions and approximately 3% of healthcare emissions. Anaesthetic gases have a high global warming
potential, brought about by their volatility and persistence within the atmosphere for an extensive period. The
implementation of mitigation strategies has become an urgent need to reduce this impact. Aims: To identify green measures being implemented to mitigate the environmental impact of anaesthetic gases |
