Air is mainly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, which together constitute the major gases of the atmosphere. The remaining gases are often referred to as trace gases,[1] among which are the greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Filtered air includes trace amounts of many other chemical compounds. Many natural substances may be present in tiny amounts in an unfiltered air sample, including dust, pollen and spores, sea spray, and volcanic ash. Various industrial pollutants also may be present, such as chlorine (elementary or in compounds), fluorine compounds, elemental Mercury, and sulfur compounds such as sulfur dioxide [SO2].

Is pure air a homogenous or heterogenous mixture?
Yes. Pure air is a homogenous mixture. Air is a mixture of various kinds of gases. A mixture is said to be homogenous when all its constituents are in phase. Example, a mixture of water & milk is a homogenous mixture, as water & milk both are liquids & are in phase. Same is the case with pure air. All the constituents gases of pure air are in phase with each other. Hence its a homogenous mixture.
