A pound of air is NOT a measure of pressure. A unit of pressure would be a weight ( a force really) for instance pound by a surface (square inch for instance).
Pound is a unit of weight only. At sea level on earth barometric pressure, 1 cubic metre weighs 1.2kg (or 2.64 pound). Which means 1 pound of air represents a volume of 0.379 cubic metre of air.
This obviously varies with atmospheric pressure (the air pressure) and the gravitional pull. a pound of air would represent a much bigger (6 times bigger roughly) volume on the moon for instance.
