Abstract:
Human Health relies on Environmental Health, we thus must assess the environmental impact of healthcare systems. Life cycle analysis (LCA) quantifies the impacts on : human health, climate change, ecosystems and resources. This technique allows for evaluation of the environmental impacts of objects or processes. This article assessed the LCA of three medical cups to identify their specific strengths and weaknesses.
