Actually, compressor bleed air is used for either heating or cooling.
As it comes from the compressor, it is hot. If it is ducted through a
heat exchanger and expander before it enters a cabin it is cool. Since
the compressor is before the combustion section, there is no CO or CO2
unless there is a compressor stall, and that is rather rare on
airliners, though not unheard of. Often times if there IS a compressor
stall the plane is returned to the ramp for engine check. Also,
turbojets put out very little CO.
