Ep. 489 - Balancing Infection Control and Environmental Responsibility

With all the emphasis in the news about climate change and environmental challenges, are there things we can do in our practice to minimize negative impacts on the environment? But we also have to keep in mind that protocols for becoming a "green" practice should not come at the expense of proper infection prevention control. To tell us more about balancing safety and environmental responsibility is our guest Mary Govoni. Mary is a speaker, author and consultant on Infection Prevention Control and regulatory compliance. With a long-term interest in environmental quality, Mary lectures and consults on how dental practices can be safe in terms of infection control and use of chemicals, but at the same time, reduce their impact on the environment.
