Abstract : The main objective of an economist is to predict the future of any problem concerning the common man. Considering the human health in India, air pollution becomes a matter of major concern. The present study analyses the air quality data of Ernakulam district in Kerala by assessing various atmospheric pollutants and meteorological factors. The air pollution analysis of southern state, says that Ernakulam district has not been able to sustain the air quality gains of 2020 in the year 2021. As per 2021 air quality categorisation of analysis of days, it is seen that the number of days with worse air quality index has increased two times compared to previous year. The study comes to the conclusion that the meteorological factors have a great impact on the atmospheric pollutants and increasing humidity help to improve pollution. Also, the particulate matters are the major contributer for the increase in air quality index level. The most recent XLSTAT version and python programming were used to infer the results in this study. The researcher contends that, steps are to be taken to reduce the impact of solar radiations which helps in reducing the air quality level.
