1. A system for collecting an anaesthetic agent, the system comprising:
at least one anaesthetic gas scavenging system (AGSS) for receiving exhaust gas from a plurality of sources, the exhaust gas including the anaesthetic agent to be collected; and
a central collection system for receiving the exhaust gas, the central collection system comprising:
a disinfection module for disinfecting the exhaust gases and outputting a disinfected exhaust gas; and
at least one collector for receiving the disinfected exhaust gas, wherein the at least one collector is configured to adsorb the anaesthetic agent from the exhaust gas.
