And associated venting. While CO2 is not inherently toxic at low level (we're breathing over 400ppm every minute of every day) a CO2 dominant atmosphere is an asphyxiation hazard.
The equipment is pretty capital intensive, but the pressurized CO2 itself is pretty cheap.
Maybe this study is trying to encourage the conversion to the safer alternative.
