This article investigates the materials commonly used in colonoscopy procedures and assesses their environmental impact through a life-cycle assessment (LCA). The study focuses on the carbon footprint of these materials, as the type of material used directly affects carbon emissions. The supplies examined were categorized based on their primary components, and their composition was determined through spectroscopy and analysis. The results show that the examined colonoscopy supplies generate various types of waste, with polymeric materials being the most prevalent. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding the environmental impact of these materials in order to select more sustainable alternatives. [Extracted from the article] |
