The list below is as close as I could get it.
Explanation:
The following are in constant proportion, not varying from one location to another:
Nitrogen 78.08%
Oxygen 20.95%
Argon 0.93%
Trace elements include Ne, He and Kr at about 0.0001% each
Variable proportion:
Carbon dioxide 0.037%
Water vapour 0 to 4%, depending on location and season.
Methane
Sulfur dioxide
Ozone
Nitrogen oxides
(The final four in "trace amounts" only.)
