Abstract

Predicting air quality is a complex task due to the dynamic nature, volatility, and high variability in the time and space of pollutants and particulates.Due to the presence of governing factors, varying land uses, and many sources for the elaboration of pollution, the forecast and analysis of air pollution is a difficult procedure. At the same time, being able to model, predict, and monitor air quality is becoming more and more relevant, especially in urban areas, due to the observed critical impact of air pollution on citizens’ health and the environment. In this paper, various air pollution monitoring and prediction models with respect to hardware interfacing modules and various classification approaches. The Air Quality Index (AQI) parameter is used in this paper to monitor the quality of air pollution in various regions of the world. The drawbacks of the conventional air pollution monitoring and prediction models have been stated in this paper with the methodologies used for air pollution prediction.
