You exhale as you would normally would. The high levels of carbon dioxide will move towards areas where it is lower. Oxygen will move into wards where that is lower as well. They will do an exchange.

Is it dangerous to sleep in the room with someone using an oxygen concentrator?
Typically a person using Oxygen will use it with a mask or with a cannula. A typical Concentrator will produce between .5 LPM (liters per minute) and 10 LPM. Your body should be OK if you had the Cannula or mask on you because the Boy only pulls Oxygen out of the air. Other elements (Nitrogen, co2, Xenon, Krypton, etc.) are not used by the body and are exhaled. If you breathed in Pure Oxygen you would exhale some Pure Oxygen and co2.

Should an oxygen cannula with curved nose pieces be inserted with the curve pointed up or down?
I've worked in hospitals and have always been taught that the nasal cannula should curve downwards. Cant give much justification as to why though..sorry!
Do the prongs of a nasal cannula face up or down in the nostrils?
Wear a cannula so that it causes a minimum of discomfort. The nasal cannula is a small piece of plastic tubing that is attached to a larger tube which, in turn, connects to the oxygen container. The cannula has two small prongs that are inserted into the nostrils. If the prongs are curved, they should point downward inside the nostrils.
How long should you use a nasal cannula?
You should wash your cannula with soap and water at least twice a week, and replace it at least once a month. If you are sick with a cold or similar infection, you should replace your cannula immediately after feeling better.
What should you do when securing the cannula?
