Inhaled anaesthetics a basic necessity for surgery mainly in case of anaesthetic desflurane is supposedly a causative agent of global warming, claims a study.

According to reports laid by Dr. Susan M. Ryan of University of California and computer scientist Claus J. Nielsen of University of Oslo, sevoflurane, isoflurane, and desflurane were labelled as greenhouse gases.

It was further added that usage of desflurane for one hour is akin to 235 to 470 miles of driving.

It also is termed to be a vent out for the building as medical waste gases and hover around the atmosphere for a longer duration.

Reports by Ryan and Nielsen suggests that it essentially is the "simple, knowledge-based decisions" that anaesthesiologists follow to curb the environmental happenings that occur due to medical conditions and thus avoid high rates of desflurane.
