Most fruit cargoes carried under refrigeration require introduction of fresh air into the cargo space to remove any excess carbon dioxide and ethylene produced by respiration of the cargo and sensors are fitted to detect these gases.

Why, even though this is a crude method for controlling the cargo space atmosphere, is this type of instruction given?
It is the standard method and it is always done that way for simplicity.
Fresh air helps to acclimatise the cargo to the prevailing ambient conditions.
