THE ENVIRONMENTAL impact of dermatology is gaining attention as healthcare professionals explore sustainable approaches to reduce emissions, waste, and resource consumption across clinical practice.
A review examining the environmental impact of dermatology highlighted that outpatient dermatology practices may generate significant greenhouse gas emissions, with purchased goods and services representing the largest proportion of emissions.
Dermatology Practices Face Unique Sustainability ChallengesThe widespread use of topical formulations, including medical ointments, sunscreens, and cosmeceuticals, represents a specific area of concern within dermatology.
The authors concluded that further collaboration, education, and policy development will be required to embed sustainable practices across dermatology.
Greater awareness of the environmental impact of dermatology may help clinicians identify opportunities to reduce emissions while maintaining high-quality patient care.
