I'm looking for help understanding what the 3 gases are that I'm breathing in when I inhale air. I know that oxygen is one of them, but what are the other two? I'm not sure if there are any other gases mixed in with the air that I'm breathing. Does anyone know what the other two gases are and is there any potential danger from them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
