C02 is probably the least harmful.
We could go into why each one is produced, (unburned fuel, evaporative gasoline vapors, high combustion chamber temps...) and what part of the car is to control each one (catalytic converter, EGR valve, Charcoal canister, etc....) but if you were interested you could also find out on your own, maybe howstuffworks.com.

Yeah, I understand that. I'm relatively well-versed on that subject. The person in question kept referring to CO. However, we were told back in the 70's how bad the products of combustion were and the catalytic converter was introduced; and now we're being told how bad CO2 is. So, according to what people are saying nowadays, CO2 is the worst thing EVER!!!
Law of unintended consequences, if you pick up what I'm throwin' down.
