like all [[Resource|resources]] transferable via pipes, it can be stored in [[Tank|tanks]]
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> is a danger to the population, high c02 causes suffocation if the crew is not in [[Space suit|space suits]], 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|CO2 scrubbers]]. CO<sub>2</sub> can be reprocessed into oxygen using an [[Air Reprocessor|air reprocessor]].
