Environmental Impact: DPIs are considered environmentally friendly compared to metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) that use propellants, which can deplete the ozone layer. However, the production and disposal of plastic components in DPIs still present environmental challenges. Occupational Exposure: Healthcare workers or individuals involved in the manufacturing process of DPIs may be exposed to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients. Adequate safety measures and personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential to minimize exposure risks.
