Poorly controlled asthma drives excess carbon emissions: large UK study (published 2024)
A study including 236K participants with poorly controlled asthma in the UK reported that poorly controlled asthma results in:
– 3 times the carbon emissions of well-controlled asthma (on average)
– Excess was largely driven (90%) by inappropriate use of SABA.
