Abstract

BASED on the fact that the measured values of carbon dioxide of atmospheric air samples never could be determined as specific (using Pettenkofer's titration method CO2 values of 0.025–0.037 per cent/vol. were measured) a series of tests have been performed over a period of years to explain these irregularities. While some years ago the influence of light as opposed to darkness and the influence of temperature on the CO2 values could be proved1–3, the existence of a substance which acts as a catalyst and which seems to play an essential part in the deviations of the measured CO2 values was determined by these last tests.
