Machine Learning Models for Predicting Air Pollution

Abstract

Abstract: The air quality monitoring system collects data of pollutants from different location to maintain optimum air quality. In the current situation, it is the critical concern,. The introduction of hazardous gases into the atmosphere from industrial sources, vehicle emissions, etc. pollutes the air. Today, the amount of air pollution in large cities has surpassed the governmentset air quality index value and reached dangerous levels. It has a significant effect on a human health. The prediction of air pollution can be done by the Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Machine Learning (ML) combines statistics and computer science to maximize the prediction power. ML is used in order to calculate the Air Quality Index. Various sensors and an Arduino Uno microcontroller are utilized to collect the dataset. Then by using K- Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm, the air quality is predicted.
