    I wrote 'em to see how they'd gotten around the toxicity problem.

Imagine if that was someone's wake-up call. But, yeah, as you said, this is a very tricky thing to account for and balance/circulate. I've been marveling at how space stations or submarines do their atmosphere for years, but it'd never occur to me in a club.

A colleague from chemistry department once told me he detected an argon leak by noticing the air seemed to get dryer by the minute. Left station to check the read on the wall, started hyperventilating, connected the dots in time.
