water vapor
Yes. The greenhouse effect is a consequence of the properties of certain gasses.
carbon dioxide
Concrete is made from cement, and the manufacture of cement releases carbon dioxide that had been sequestered underground for millions of years. Since the greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, retaining heat, any increase in the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and therefore to global warming. Because it is made from cement, concrete is an important contributor to the greenhouse effect.

Oxygen and Nitrogen
No. The greenhouse effect is a consequence of heat-trapping gasses.
Yes. The greenhouse effect is a consequence of the properties of certain gasses.

The danger is, if the infrared is trapped by atmospheric gases it can cause greenhouse effect.
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
