Asthma itself has no impact on the environment.  However, some claim that inhalers that used to contain chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) as a propellant might help deplete the ozone.  For that reason CFC inhalers have slowly been phased out in favor of inhalers that either use HFA propellant or are dry powder inhalers.  For more information you can click here, or here

 

Or you can click here to learn about new HFA inhalers. 

 

for more information you can do a google search.
