    The document lists the primary components of inhaled oxygen, with nitrogen comprising 78.084% by volume, oxygen 20.9476%, and argon 0.934%. It then notes that exhaled air contains similar percentages of nitrogen and argon but lower oxygen at 17% and higher carbon dioxide at 4%, and is saturated with water vapor.
