Why do portable A/C machines have vents? Is it just to send dusty/warm air outside or are there harmful vapors and such that it’s expelling?

Question

For background, I’ve been looking to get a portable A/C for my bedroom until I can get a permanent unit installed, which will take time. Unfortunately I don’t have a window, just a sliding glass door. Would it be bad if I got a portable A/C and just pointed the vent tube into the hallway? Is there any hazard beyond dust?

Look online there are some new small units that cool in a small area. They basically work by humidifying the air. They me son got one to add to his dorm room. It works ok in a small space.
Since you aren’t looking for a permanent fix you could try one or two of these.
