<p>We have made no such assessment on the proportion of the National Health Service
carbon footprint made by hydrofluorocarbon in metred dose inhalers or of the impact
of the use of metred dose inhalers containing hydrofluorocarbons in releasing greenhouse
gases. However, we are informed by NHS England that the National Atmospheric Emissions
Inventory calculated the carbon emissions from inhalers in England as 850,000 tonnes
of carbon dioxide equivalents. This is equivalent to approximately 4% of the entire
carbon footprint of the NHS in England.</p>
