The percentage of carbon dioxide in exhaled air is higher than the percentage of carbon dioxide in inhaled air, which is about 0.04%. This is because our bodies use oxygen to produce energy, and as a byproduct of this process, we produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled out of our lungs.<\/p>\n<p>The percentage of nitrogen in exhaled air is about the same as the percentage of nitrogen in inhaled air.
