![]() Avoiding use of branded Ventolin Evohaler, Ventolin 100mcg Evohaler has more than double the carbon footprint of other Salbutamol pMDIs.If a pMDI is needed or preferred by the patient, the brand and dosing regime can help minimise carbon footprint by: DPIs do not require spacer devices and often have dose counters to aid use. Alternatives to pMDIs, such as dry powdered inhalers (DPIs) and soft-mist inhalers (SMIs), have a much lower carbon footprint and can be safely and effectively used by many patients. In England approximately 70% of inhalers prescribed are pMDIs, most are short acting beta-agonist inhalers (SABA) such as salbutamol. In 2019 the NHS Long Term Plan committed to reducing its carbon footprint by 51% by 2025 including a reduction of 4% by shifting patients from MDIs to DPIs.
