- Latest report was in last Thursday's Tucson Citizen, picked up by AP.
- The oxygen levels are at about 15%; they will pump in oxygen if it
- gets below 13.6%. Four of the eight "Biospherians" are taking
- medication for "mountain sickness." CO2 levels are at 3,000 ppm.
- The news story says that "normal" levels are 21% (oxygen level at
- sea level) and 350 ppm for CO2.
