As a new approach the urban air pollution was characterized based on the columnar mass (CM) of the pollutants. The columnar mass was estimated as the product of the pollutant's concentration and the mixing height. Concentration data were taken from the metropolitan air quality monitoring network of Budapest, while mixing height was calculated by the meterological AERMET model code. New features of the emissions as well as post-emission modifications of the pollutants are manifested in this study, which are mostly masked in the concentration time series by the variation of the mixing height.
