Lead in Gasoline is of course a big problem in many parts of the world.
It is especially toxic to young people.

I've always wondered how Roman (the city of the empire) kids could grow up without anemia and a bunch of other things wrong with them when all their pipes were lead.

The best I could find is
here. Which lists these:
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Aldehyde
- Oxides of nitrogen (nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide)
- Gaseous hydrocarbons
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
- Ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide
- Absorbed hydrocarbons on particulates
Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide are both very bad for a person as is of course hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide - hydrogen sulfide is used for suicide and hydrogen cyanide is used as a chemical weapon. Apparently - yeah - keep your kids away from gasoline exhaust
