This is handled through a very simple expedient.  You must "purge" the 
system at regular intervals in order to keep the inert gas ratio at a 
reasonable level.  I forget what the interval (and it may be different 
for various rebreathers).

It is hard to disagree with a pro-survival decision,
     It is even harder to engage in prolonged arguments
