If the air is clean, you'll breathe in oxygen. If dirty, you'll breathe in polluted air which can damage your lungs. An example of polluted air is car exhaust or second-hand smoke.
.
To more specifically answer the question, the air we breathe is made up of several gases. Air is mostly nitrogen (~78%), and oxygen (~21%), and the remainder is a mix of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, helium, neon, particulate matter, and other gases.

∙ 14y agoWell you can inhale pretty much any gas, but if you want to know which gasses make up the mixture air, it's about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen 0.93% argon 0.038% carbon dioxide and small amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%.

∙ 14y agoThere are many many gasses in the air we breathe. The main gasses are nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen comprises roughly 78% of the air we breathe while oxygen comprises 21% of the air and argon the remaining 1%. There are parts per million traces of many other gases, the greatest of which is carbon dioxide at 300 ppm.

When we breathe in we inhale many gases present in the air including oxygen. what do you think happens to the gases that are not needed by the body?
Nothing - they are "breathed out" with your exhale.
What percentage of greenhouse gases are produced by humans including the use of recovered hydrocarbons?
0%- Humans exhale CO2. Human expell methane.
Do you breathe in oxygen or carbon dioxide?
we breathe in air as a whole which contains both carbon Di-oxide and oxygen but we exhale out carbon Di-oxide and other usefulness gases
What important greenhouse gases does exhaled air contain?
Humans and all other animals exhale carbon dioxide, as part of the natural cycle, in which plants absorb the carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. As long as we have enough plants in the form of trees, algae and other vegetaion, this cycle is sustainable with no increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases. Cows and sheep also exhale methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas that is not absorbed by plants. This has been blamed as a significant contributor to global warming.
What takes place when you inhal and exhale?
take place when you inhale and exhale?
What gases do you enhale and exhale?
we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon- di- oxide
Are the gases that humans exhale during respiration weightless?
yes
Do inhale or exhale when the gases inside the lungs are pushed out through air passages?
You exhale because you're body is getting rid of the gases so the oxygen can come into your lungs.
What gases are used or given off by the body as you inhale and exhale as you breathe?
CO2
What gases are added to inhald air and then exhald?
you inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
What is a dolphins blow hole for?
For allowing the dolphin to inhale and exhale gases so it can survive.
Do inhale or exale the gases inside the lungs are pushed out through air passages?
exhale

How does the body take out the gases which we don't need?
The lungs allow our blood to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and other gases. When we exhale, those gases are pushed out of our body.
What goes into your body when you inhale what gets out of your body when you exhale?
When inhaling, you are taking in the air that surrounds us. This air is composed of several gases, of which oxygen is the most important to us. When we exhale, we breath out mainly carbon dioxide, and any other gases that we don't need to use.
