Cutie, I think you are dreaming. If you want to find out just how impractical your ideas are, implement them yourself. You know that book that you like to read, set up a stationary bike with a generator attached to it, and a lamp attached to it. Get on the bike, start pedalling, and enjoy your book. Consider how long it takes before you are very tired, versus how long you would have preferred to read the book. Do the same for a movie you want to watch, the meal you want to fix, the snack that you wanted to heat up in a microwave, or the water you wanted to heat up for your bath. Hopefully, this will give you some idea of the obstacles that you face.
Solar power is a possibility, and there is quite a bit of engineering that has been done to make it more practical. You still need a battery backup, and some kind of back up generator, unless you wish to be cold and dark when there is no sun light. Those waste gasses are going to be around for a long time. Even you yourself in your daily life add to the problem. I think you need to take a more informed look at all of the processes that go into our society, and which ones you wish to do without. By the way, the bacterial decomposition of waste, like the left overs from your meal that you flushed recently, add to those gasses you refer to. The best way to combat the problems that you seem to want to get rid of is to manage the creation of wastes that have a net impact of zero to the environment. That would be something that can be done, if we truly want to. For practical knowledge, get the magazine "Home Power". It is dedicated to what you seem to want.

It's impossible to have a world that is completely free of toxic gas emmission but what is possible is to reduce these emmissions to the level that they come to balance with the environment and would therefore become less harmful.

Some of these gases are not harmful just bc they exist. They are harmful because of their quantum. Afterall, a gas like C02 is considered harmful to the environment, yet it's still useful for the survival of the trees.

The pursuit should not be total eradication but striking a healthy balance.

Oxygen is a toxic gas. Were it not mixed with nitrogen it would react adversely with both plant and animal life. Nitrogen is a toxic gas. Were it not mixed with oxygen it would suffocate all life. The Moon, on the other hand has no toxic gases, but you can't live there unless you import or manufacture life support gases.

I really dont think that is possible. Take me for example. Depending on what I eat, I release way to many toxic gases. Sometimes they are so bad that I have to roll down the windows in the car.

While some developments are possible, total elimination is not likely. Toxic gases can be natural too, not necessarily man made.

no, because in the world their are many gases and oxygen also belongs to these gases. if we have no toxic gases we should have been died now.

No, volcanos spew forth toxic gases every day.

No, not a world without. But we can slow the increase of toxins in our environment.

No, because even cows and all animals emit toxic gasses.
