“…En outre, le système de santé canadien génère 33 millions de tonnes de gaz à effet de serre et plus de 200 000 tonnes d'autres polluants, dont l'impact sur la santé de la population résulterait, selon les premières analyses, en une perte annuelle de 23 000 années de vie corrigées du facteur invalidité (AVCI ou Disability Adjusted Life-Years -DALY). 6 La pharmacie durable (Green pharmacy) est définie comme « l'utilisation de pratiques durables dans le développement, la fabrication, la prescription et l'élimination d'un médicament pour maximiser son efficacité thérapeutique, diminuer ses coûts pour le système de santé et minimiser son impact sur l'environnement ». 7 Les médicaments, utiles au traitement de nombreuses pathologies, sont cependant des micropolluants qui nécessitent une manutention et une utilisation appropriées, notamment dans le système ambulatoire qui est le plus grand prescripteur de médicaments.…”

Les services de santé exercent une empreinte carbone significa tive sur l'environnement dont environ 20 % proviennent des médicaments. Pour un système de santé durable, il est important d'évaluer l'empreinte écologique des médicaments et de favoriser les actes de production, prescription, dispensation et utilisation durables qui limitent l'émission de carbone et le gaspillage médicamenteux. Cette responsabilité doit être partagée par tous, gouvernement, industrie pharmaceutique, professionnels de santé et patients. Cet article donne des recommandations pratiques pour chacun des acteurs afin de favoriser une pres cription durable. Sustainable drug prescription: shared perspectives between physicians and pharmacistsHealth services have a significant carbon footprint on the environment, of which about 20 % come from drug prescriptions. For a sustainable health system, it is important to assess the environmental footprint of drugs and promote sustainable drug manufacturing, prescription, dispensing and use that limit carbon emissions and drug wastage. All, governments, pharmaceutical industry, health professionals and patients, must share this responsibility. This article gives practical recommendations for each of these protagonists to promote sustainable drug prescription.

Hydrogen (H2) liquefaction is one of the most promising approaches for storing and transporting clean energy on a large scale for long periods. However, this strategy faces the challenges of high energy consumption, relatively low exergy efficiency, substantial economic costs, boil-off gas losses, and limited knowledge of its environmental perspectives. A robust systematic framework is introduced by integrating thermodynamic, machine learning (ML), and multiobjective optimization (MOO) approaches to optimize the operational variables of the H2 liquefaction process. The H2 liquefaction process includes a mixed refrigerant precooling unit and a Joule-Brayton cryogenic cascade cycle. The combination of the pinch analysis approach and enumerative algorithms is used in the initial optimization phase as a nonlinear method to determine the operational variables of the precooling and liquefaction systems. The exergy efficiency and exergy destruction of H2 liquefaction cycles are calculated as 49% and 5073 kW to produce 50 tons/day of liquid H2. Based on life cycle assessment and economic analysis, the global warming and levelized cost to produce 1 kg liquid H2 are calculated at 124 kgCO2eq and 4.833 US$, respectively. The sensitivity analysis, ML, and MOO algorithms (particle swarm, genetic algorithm, and gray wolf techniques) in the final optimization phase are used to determine the Pareto frontier. The multicriteria decision techniques are used to identify the optimal operating conditions considering the thermodynamic, economic, and environmental aspects. The uncertainty levels of objective functions based on different parameters are studied by uncertainty quantification using Monte Carlo.
