We present searches for gas-phase CO_2_ features in the ISO-SWS infrared spectra of four deeply embedded massive young stars, which all show strong solid CO_2_ absorption. The abundance of gas-phase CO_2_ is at most 2x10^-7^ with respect to H_2_, and is less than 5% of that in the solid phase. This is in strong contrast to CO, which is a factor of 10-100 more abundant in the gas than in solid form in these objects. The gas/solid state ratios of CO_2_, CO and H_2_O are discussed in terms of the physical and chemical state of the clouds.
