There are numerous reports of carbon dioxide fire extinguishers or significant loads of dry ice causing actual or potential carbon dioxide intoxication leading to accidents or incidents, both in the military and in the airlines. To evaluate the significance of the problem in general aviation, dry ice sublimation reported in literature and measured sublimation was theoretically applied to general aviation aircraft, and carbon dioxide from fire extinguishers was measured, both in static and flight condition. The results indicate that the use of carbon dioxide fire extinguishers or the transportation under some conditions of dry ice could produce levels which could cause severe anxiety due to respiratory stimulation or actually produce pilot impairment and contribute to or cause accidents.
有大量报告称，在军事和航空领域，二氧化碳灭火器或大量干冰会导致实际的或潜在的二氧化碳中毒，进而引发事故。为评估该问题在通用航空中的严重性，将文献中报道的干冰升华情况及实测升华情况理论上应用于通用航空飞机，并在静态和飞行条件下测量了灭火器中的二氧化碳。结果表明，使用二氧化碳灭火器或在某些条件下运输干冰，可能会产生因呼吸刺激而导致严重焦虑的水平，或实际造成飞行员身体机能受损，进而促成或引发事故。
