Abstract

As guideline-recommended care for asthma increases globally, there is an opportunity to reduce asthma burden while minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from inhalers. This analysis quantified the long-term global climate impact and economic impact of status quo asthma inhaler use compared to substituting metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), which use propellants with 1,300-3,350 times carbon dioxide’s (CO2’s) global warming potential, with propellant-free dry-powder inhalers (DPIs).
