Chemicals and Treatments

Harmful chemicals are present all around us, especially in settings such as hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Most of these chemicals are detrimental to the environment when improperly disposed and their use poses a certain risk to patient and staff health. In this module, we will list chemicals you should urge your hospital administration to eliminate. In addition, we will establish clear guidelines to help healthcare workers minimize the environmental impact of decisions regarding the prescription of drugs, inhalers, testing and imagery, and others.
