Also from the article:
> If the worst happens and the dome is punctured, 2,000 tonnes of CO2 will enter the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the emissions of about 15 round-trip flights between New York and London on a Boeing 777. “It’s negligible compared to the emissions of a coal plant,” Spadacini says. People will also need to stay back 70 meters or more until the air clears, he says.

> People will also need to stay back 70 meters. Huge amounts of carbon dioxide can be far more dangerous. The [Lake Nyos disaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Nyos_disaster) has killed over 1700 people, at up to 25 kilometers distance.
