It settles and turns to ash/soot and emission gasses. The gasses remain gasses but they become transparent as the particles fall out. So basically you’ll end up with atmospheric air containing huge amounts of carbon dioxide. Meanwhile the glass become foggy due to the residue of particles that get deposited against the glass as everything separates.
