Hospitals greater global warmers: Study | Deccan Chronicle
The seemingly harmless operation theatre is responsible for global warming, with certain anaesthetic gases contributing up to 2,000 times to climate change than the much-maligned carbondioxide. Moreover, much of the anaesthetic gases used in operation theatres are let out into the atmosphere with only five per cent being metabolised by the patient...The team suggested that hospitals adopt methods for reclamation of gases instead of sending them out into the atmosphere.
