Abstract

The world is now in an existential ecological crisis. Our deleterious and unsustainable impact on the planet has, among other things, increased greenhouse gas emissions, with further injury from plastics and other waste in the environment. The evidence for an accelerating biodiversity crisis and serious soil degradation in many parts of the world is irrefutable. The pandemic risk to our species and our planet is not if, but when. We have to change the way we organise society in order to make the future sustainable for all species. Worldwide health systems are a significant contributor to environmental damage. The first article in this series discussed general aspects of sustainability in general practice, and this second article examines the use of chemicals in practice.
牙科的可持续性第二部分:可持续性与牙科化学品的使用
当今世界正处于一场生存生态危机之中。我们对地球造成的有害的、不可持续的影响,除其他外,增加了温室气体的排放,塑料和环境中的其他废物造成了进一步的伤害。在世界许多地方,生物多样性危机和严重的土壤退化正在加速,这是无可辩驳的证据。我们的物种和地球面临的大流行风险不是 "如果",而是 "何时"。我们必须改变我们组织社会的方式,以便使所有物种的未来可持续发展。全球卫生系统是造成环境破坏的重要因素。本系列的第一篇文章讨论了全科实践中可持续发展的一般方面,第二篇文章则探讨了实践中化学品的使用。
