abstract={The rising industrial revolution, urbanization and increasing human activities are the some of the primary reasons for increasing air pollution. Increasing air pollution adversely affects human health, agricultural production, wild animals. It is also an underlying cause for climate changes and these ultimately culminate in economic losses. Analysis of air quality index (AQI) can help to make recommendations to restrict outdoor air exposure and plan for demand on the healthcare system during periods of higher pollution. This study examines the stochastic behaviour of the AQI in Chennai city. Probabilities have been computed transitions among various states of AQI. Furthermore, steady state probability and mean first passage time have been evaluated.},
