That depends on the fuel you burn. If you're using your standard 85.5 ocatane unleaded gasoline, then you will emit carbon monoxide as well as nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas and will cause global warming, while nitrous oxide can mix with water in the air and form acid rain.

a lot of different things, but mostly carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbons.
A short list of the likely pathogens in car exhaust:
Carbon Monoxide
Nitrogen dioxide
Sulphur dioxide
Suspended particles including PM-10, particles less than 10 microns in size.
Benzene
Formaldehyde
Polycyclic hydrocarbons

Carbon Monoxide is a byproduct of gas combusting.
When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it takes the place of oxygen in hemoglobin, the red blood pigment that normally carries oxygen to all parts of the body. Because carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin several hundred times more strongly than oxygen, its effects are cumulative and long-lasting, causing oxygen starvation throughout the body. Prolonged exposure to fresh air (or pure oxygen) is required for the CO-tainted hemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin) to clear.
