The sublimated gas must be ventilated, otherwise it may fill the enclosed space and create a suffocation hazard. Special care for ventilating vehicles is needed as well due to the small space. People who handle dry ice should also be aware that carbon dioxide is heavier than air and will sink to the floor.
