When you exhale, you actually release oxygen, nitrogen and other gasses. But most of all you release more carbon dioxide. People often think that the lungs must be full of carbon dioxide but they are not. The percentage of gas in the lungs that is highest is nitrogen. It isn't used by your body but is important in keeping your lungs inflated. But all-in-all, you exhale more carbon dioxide than you inhale.
