DETAILED METHOD TO DETERMINE CARBON FOOTPRINT

Due to COVID19 pandemic, the use of disposable materials for healthcare purposes has increase significantly, leading to a rampant increase of residues which affects the environment. Determining the life cycle of GI instruments is key factor in improvement our environmental footprint. For that each of the instruments are characterised by several techniques such as, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and Thermogravimetric Analysis. The establishment of GI instruments carbon footprint make the healthcare institutions become aware of its environmental effect and helps to reduce its detrimental effect by choosing the better option.
