Far below 100°C, bubbles that form are mostly dissolved air (with excess carbon dioxide, because it dissolves much more readily than nitrogen or oxygen.) Closer to 100°C, they would include more and more water vapor because the vapor pressure of water increases as the temperature rises. Above 100°C, the water boils and the bubbles are almost exclusively water vapor.
