Drinking water		6	Lbs. per day
Food, Dry		1.4	Lbs. per day
Respiration Quotient	0.72	Weight ratio of oxygen consumed carbon
				dioxide produced
CO2 Produced		0.115	Lbs. per hour at 1atm

8.17 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Removal System
Capable of maintining the CO2 concentration at or below 0.00989 kg/m3 or 
0.5percent by volume at 1atm.

8.21 Emergancy Life Support System
8.21.2 CO2
The system is to be designed such that CO2 levels in the gas being breathed 
do not exceed 0.0198 kg/m3 or 1 percent by volume at 1atm.
