Nitrogen is the most common gas in any home. It is fairly inert. Carbon dioxide will also be present at fairly high levels in most homes, though usually less than oxygen. Water vapor is also present in homes. Inside air will match roughly the proportions of gasses of outside air in homes with good ventilation.
- 78% Nitrogen
- 21% Oxygen
- 1% Argon
- 380 ppm Carbon dioxide outside, up to 1000 ppm inside.
- Trace amounts of methane.
Also, homes in parts of the world where naturally occurring radon levels are high will contain varying amounts of radon gas (the mean concentration varies from less than 10 Bq/m3 to over 100 Bq/m3 in some European countries.) Radon can accumulate in poorly ventilated homes in areas with high background levels of the gas and can pose a significant health risk.

Is there oxygen in a ping pong ball?
It contains some oxygen yes. 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, ~1% Argon plus a smidge of CO2 and other trace gases.
Is clean air a solution?
air is a solution as it is homogeneous mixture of mostly nitrogen with some oxygen, some carbondioxdie, and lots of small amounts of other gasses including hydrogen and argon. "Clean" air usually refers to no dust, car exhaust or other particles/gases. But all air has nitrogen, oxygen and carbondioxinde - otherwise its not air. note solutions can be gases.
What gases are begin exchanged in the alveoli?
Mostly oxygen & carbon dioxide - but also some nitrogen.
What is gaseous solution?
A gaseous solution is when two or more gases are mixed together and become uniformly intermingled.The atmosphere is a gaseous solution. It consists of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, water, methane, and some other minor components.A gaseous solution is two gases that are mixed together and become uniformly intermingles. An example of a gaseous solution is the atmosphere.
What is the 18 group called on the periodic table called?
called d noble gasses since these are not completly inert becouse zenon(Xe) forms some compounds with oxygen and flourine under the special cases n also some other elements of this group which is d noble nature of these gases so istead of giving name inert gases they r knwn as noble gases they are also known as zero group elements
What are the names of some other gases?
Oxygen is one type of gas.
What are some gases other than oxygen?
Nitrogen Argon Carbon Dioxide Helium and a lot more! Some other gases are Nitrogen, Argon, Neon, and Hydrogen.
The properties of atmosphere?
Some properties are nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases, but the thermosphere doesn't have any oxygen molecules.
What proportion of each gas in air?
The percentage of oxygen in air is 21%.
What is air made up of?
air is made up of some gases. i.e. it's made up of hydrogen, nitrogen, and mixture of other gases. but the most common is it is made up of nitrogen-78%, oxygen-21%, and other gases-1%air is made up of different gases such as oxygen, carbondioxide, nitrogen and noble gases.
What planet's atmosphere is made up of nitrogen with some oxygen?
Earth's atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. The other 1% is other gases.
What are some examples of non-metalsNON?
oxygen carbon dioxide nitrogen and other gases bromine etc.
What gases are exchanged in the pulmonary circuit?
generally accepted answer - oxygen gas (O2) and carbon dioxide gas. But also water vapor, some nitrogen, and a lot of other trace gases.
Is there oxygen in a ping pong ball?
It contains some oxygen yes. 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, ~1% Argon plus a smidge of CO2 and other trace gases.
What is in ten cubic feet of air?
Lots of nitrogen, some oxygen, some carbon dioxide and then a little bits of other gases.
Would you name some gases?
helium,oxygen
Why is the earth covered with water?
The earth formed and let of carbon, oxygen, and other gases. Those gases collected and formed the atmosphere. When the Earth cooled, some hydrogen and oxygen bonded to make water vapor. Soon we had lakes, then oceans, and then life.
