New technology absorbs carbon dioxide to save sailors' lives

Article Abstract:

Naval Sea Systems Command ordered lithium hydroxide curtains for $850,000 from Battelle that could help save sailors' lives if their submarine is disabled. The Navy hopes to equip every submarine in the fleet by late 2004 with 400 of the life-saving curtains that work by having lithium hydroxide absorb carbon monoxide from the air while the sailors await rescue.
