Normal inert gases that are in the air, unburnt fuel, carbon monoxide, radiation and Mercury. The mercury is used in place of the lead that was used in the past. The radiation is used to counter act the acids in the fuel used to eat the mercury. The Catalytic converter, radioactive, was added to the exhaust system because the acids were breaking down the asphalt roads. So now the roads last longer, but the unburnt mercury is in the soil and the water causing major health issue's.
Funny thing was the lead in the gas helped the engine run better due to the fact it was a lubricant and it didn't have any harmful side effects unless it was ingested.
