A new book by biospherian, Jane Poynter (The Human Experiment:Two Years and Twenty Minutes Inside Biosphere) is suppose to clarify the CO2 question. There is an excerpt from the book on that subject here: http://janepoynter.com/excerpts.asp

Ive been there. The deal about the cement is that it had not dried, and it was sucking up the oxygen not carbon dioxide. I actually went inside biosphere in 02, and it was great!

Actually, I think what happened with Biosphere 2 is that as the concrete that made up the Biosphere aged, it absorbed CO2, so the cycle became unbalanced and screwed up.
