Chemical Composition
Calcium dioxide (Ca5C7O5) is a chemical compound comprised of a bond of Calcium, Carbon, and Oxygen. It is only found in a natural state on Harvest, Reach, Earth, Sanghelios, and Eayn. It is only found in a gaseous state and, in some cases, a liquid state. It's freezing temperature remains to be seen.

One molecule of Calcium dioxide is made of 5 Calcium atoms, 7 Carbon atoms, and 5 Oxygen atoms.

Toxicity
It can be breathed by almost every race, as it contains Carbon, Calcium, and Oxygen, all found in organic matter. However, it affects San'Shyuum for unknown reasons, possibly because of the slight instability of the Oxygen molecules when reacting to the Carbon and Calcium in the high temperatures that bond the molecules and create the chemical. It only causes blurred vision and slowness, though.

Signifigance
This chemical has a surprising affect against the Flood. Due to the Carbon, Calcium, and Oxygen in the compound it attracts Flood life forms. The Gravemind is temporarily no longer controlling the Flood form as the Flood's goal is to assimilate and infect every Calcium-based life form in the Galaxy, so the Flood can be tricked into thinking the inanimate chemical is a life form (this only affects Infection Forms, Carrier Forms, and sometimes Combat Forms, Pure Forms, Prophet Forms, Proto-Graveminds, and the Gravemind are too intelligent to be fooled). The communication between Flood combat forms when there is no Gravemind or other controlling form in the area is based on pheromones. This chemical adheres to the pheromones and confuses communication, so it can also fool the Flood in this manner.
