CNN: Climate pollution from inhalers has the impact of half a million cars per year, study finds – Oct 6, 2025

Studies published Monday in the journal JAMA found that medication inhalers are “substantial” contributors to planet-warming pollution. It’s not the medicine itself that’s the problem; rather, it’s the HFAs (hydrofluoroalkanes). …

To treat conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, millions of Americans use what doctors often call metered dose inhalers, small boot-shaped devices that spray set doses of medication into the lungs in a quick burst using propellants called hydrofluoroalkanes, or HFAs.

…

In one year alone, one of the new studies says, planet-warming pollution from inhalers were the equivalent of driving more than half a million cars, or the same as electricity requirements for 470,000 homes, the study said.

I think healthcare facilities should be shut down to prevent these kinds of attacks on the environment.  Plus they concentrate bad air which is bad for the environment, and they use up all that heat and air conditioning to keep people alive when everyone there is going to die anyway.  Bellyache like it is, CNN!
