The carbon footprint of waste streams in a UK hospital

Chantelle Rizan et al.

Summary: This study estimated and compared the carbon footprint of hospital waste streams, finding significant differences in carbon emissions under different treatment methods. Results showed that waste recycling and low-temperature incineration have lower carbon footprints, while high-temperature incineration results in the highest carbon emissions.

Operating in a Climate Crisis: A State-of-the-Science Review of Life Cycle Assessment within Surgical and Anesthetic Care

Jonathan Drew et al.

Summary: This analysis reviewed the environmental impacts of surgical and anesthetic care, finding that healthcare provision is a significant driver of environmental pollution, especially in terms of climate impact. Studies on life cycle assessments in this field are limited, with methodological heterogeneity and lack of data being key limitations. The research provides insights into the environmental impacts associated with surgical and anesthetic care, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies in this area.
