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.
The air that you mostly breathe is oxygen carbon dioxide ozone or nitrogen?
The air that we breathe in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. We only need the oxygen though, so we breathe out the other gases with the carbon dioxide that our body produces during respiration. So to answer your question, it is nitrogen, but we breathe it in and then out- we don't use it. The only gas we use is oxygen to breathe.
