Carbon dioxide was extracted from the ambient air at a main intersection in down town Tel-Aviv during the course of one winter day. The volume and stable carbon isotopic composition of the urban atmosphere is temporally quite variable (rising to as much as 590 ppm) and strongly affected by automobile emissions which are depleted in 13C.
