*******************************
My source explains: "That's the ducting that takes air from the Node 2 Fwd and bypasses the Node 2, dumping it into the Lab. There have been issues in the past of CO2 levels in the Shuttle, so the air is drawn straight from Shuttle to the Lab, where the Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly operates, thus lower CO2 levels in the Shuttle :-)"
