Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Electricity — The electricity recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Heating — The heating recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Driving — The driving recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Flights — The flights recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Diet — The diet recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Purchases — The purchases recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the household carbon footprint result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.
