    The document shows that air is composed of oxygen (59%), nitrogen (23%), argon (9%), carbon dioxide (10%), and other substances (10%). It also notes that air contains water vapor, dust, and microorganisms. The gases in air each serve important purposes - oxygen is required for respiration, combustion, and decomposition, nitrogen is used to make fertilizers, argon extends the life of light bulbs, xenon is used as an anesthetic, and carbon dioxide is required by plants to produce glucose.
