Abstract
Air pollution is one of the serious environmental problems. The high concentrations of particulate matter can have a serious impact over human health and ecosystems, especially in highly urbanized areas. In this regard, the present study employs a combined ARIMA-Multiple Linear Regression modelling approach for forecasting particulate matter content. The capital city of Bulgaria is used as case study. A regression analysis techniques are used to study the relationship between particulate matter concentration and basic meteorological variables – air temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure. The adequacy of the models has been proven by examining the behavior of the residues. The synthesized time series model can be used for forecasting, monitoring and controlling the air quality conditions. All analyzes and calculations were performed with statistical software STATGRAPHICS.
