Best Answer

Because the body has used the oxygen in the air to oxidize the nutrients you eat, this process combines the oxygen that you inhaled with carbon which makes up part of the nutrients you eat to form a poisonous gas "carbon-dioxide" which is then transported back to the lungs and exhaled along with moisture.

Air in the atmosphere is a mix of about 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, and 0.038% carbon dioxide (CO2)

When air is breathed in (inhaled) oxygen is absorbed by the lungs, exchanging it for waste carbon dioxide, carrying the CO2 away from the body when exhaled.

Exhaled air has a CO2 content of about 5%, i.e. 125 times more CO2 than inhaled air.
