CO<sub>2</sub> is a danger to the population, atmospheric concentrations of 10% or more CO<sub>2</sub> cause suffocation if the crew is not in [[spacesuit]]s, and can suffocate passengers. The atmosphere must be rich in oxygen and poor in CO2 for long term survival.  


CO<sub>2</sub> can be removed from the atmosphere using [[CO2 scrubber]]s. CO<sub>2</sub> can be reprocessed into oxygen using an [[air reprocessor]].
