In high quantities? Sure. But every time you smell perfume, you’re inhaling it. Every time you breathe, you do breathe in some CO2, nitrous, helium, methane, and oxygen.
Essentially there are chipsets that are built to detect specific compounds in the air, and are then able to count the number of particles over time relative to overall air volume, and thus calculating the percentage of a specific compound in the air.
There are sensors on the market that can read levels of any particular gas in the air.
The carbon monoxide sensor in your home is constantly working and constantly detecting the amount of CO in your house. You only hear it when it beeps, but if it detects levels that are below a dangerous level it still can read the amount of gas, but it won’t alert you.
It doesn’t matter how much the air is “mixed.” These chips are only detecting specific compounds
I mean you can trace aerosols, perfumes, carbon dioxide, almost anything in trace amounts.
All of which are toxic to inhale.
What? Carbon dioxide isn't toxic. The problem with carbon dioxide is that it displaces oxygen.
Continue your logic...
If there is less O2, then... ?
I don't think you understand what the word "toxic" means.
You breathe carbon dioxide every day, and exhale it too.
You aren't dying any more than anyone else.
But try drinking methanol and report back, if you can.
They aren’t. People inhale those all the time.

True, but how can machinery trace anything with it being mixed with ambient air, people, etc
Either high volumes or what?
I actually work on products that do just this.
