I have always wondered about CO2 in the cabin. Unless something is burning I'm not sure where it would come from in a jet aircraft. Bleed air from the engines is extracted from the compressor. Simple physics shows that a gas will go from a higher pressure to a low pressure so I'm not sure how the combustion could flow back into the compressor on a high bypass turbofan. In no way am I doubting this situation. Clearly they had some type of contamination. Does anyone have an idea as to where this sort of thing could come from if nothing was actually burning?

CO (Carbon Monoxide) however shouldn't be there. How it gets there is beyond me.
