How are the emissions different from jets than regular airlines?

I am a 34 year old male. I want to know how are the emissions different from jets than regular airlines?

In general, aircraft engine emissions are 70% carbon dioxide, 29% water, and less than 1% nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, unburned hydrocarbons, and particulates. Standards for jet emissions are established by the EPA. Commercial airlines also use jet engines, so there wouldn’t be much difference in emissions.
