Our presentation is based on a research done by the International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology in 2019 where air pollution is predicted using machine learning.

WHO has measured quality of air in approximately 1500 cities and Indian capital city was the one of the most polluted cities around the world. Pune is having highest concentration of particulate matter which is smaller than 2.5 micrometre.

Introduction

Different sources of air pollution

Construction and Demolition

Pavement, road dust

and construction activities in Pune are considered to be a major contributor of increasing particulate pollution.

Different sources of air pollution

Vehicular Emission

Due to increase in vehicular traffic that includes commercial vehicles, vehicles with gears and without gears and heavy load vehicles in Pune, leads to increase the pollution in the air and vehicles are considered

to be the major cause of air pollution.

Industrial Emission

As the new technologies are evolving day by day so new factories are being installed. This has caused air pollution by emitting harmful smoke, gases etc.

The study area

The study area

Pune is one of the most polluted cities in India. Peak levels of fine particulate matter (PM) in Pune increased by about 70%, basically due to high industrial and vehicular emissions, construction work and crop burning. The level of the airborne particulate matter- PM2.5 is very high in Pune. It is considered to be the most harmful pollutants to health.

A lot of work is done in the study and analysis of

air pollution as well as predicting the future trends. Three different methods of predictions have been done

Study and analysis of

air pollution

Linear regression

Linear regression-based air pollution

Research 1

Nitin Sadashiv Desai, IoT based air pollution monitoring

and predictor system on Beagle Bone Black, IEEE-2017,

978-1-5090-5913-3/17/531.00, March 2017.

In resaerch 1, Linear regression-based air pollution prediction was done. It suggests cloud data for data analytics which can be used for taking the decision to minimize pollution. But they have used BI service and Microsoft Azure for analysis which is very expensive services. The model is not very accurate because of linear regression-based model.

Machine learning

Machine learning

In research 2, machine learning based air pollution prediction is done. It suggests multilayer perceptron which results in very accurate result. But it takes large datasets and long duration

for training.

Recurrent Neural Network

Recurrent Neural Network based model

Research 3

Yue Shan Chang, Big data platform for air quality

analysis and prediction, IEEE-2018, 978-5636-4959-

6/18/531.00, February 2018.

In research 3 Recurrent Neural Network based model for air

pollution prediction is done. It suggests using machine

learning algorithm and recurrent neural network for

prediction which generates most accurate result but, its very

expensive to implement.

Data set used

Data set

Data from Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has been taken. This data set consists of attributes that are time (in months), air pollutants like SO2, NO2, CO, PM10 and Ozone (O3). Data is collected from 2000 to 2018 to predict the trends of the above pollutants in upcoming years.

One example of the data set

proposed work

After collecting the data, it is preprocessed. In preprocessing data are cleaned by removing noise and filling up the missing values. Multilayer perception is used for prediction and presented to the user on the app.

Multilayer perceptron

Multilayer perceptron

It is a class of feed forward artificial neural network. It

consists of at least, three layers of nodes: an input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. Except for the input nodes, each node is a neuron that uses a nonlinear activation function. MLP utilizes a supervised learning technique called back- propagation for training. Its multiple layers and nonlinear activation distinguish MLP from a linear perceptron.

Conclusion

The agenda of this research is not only to bring awareness but also to minimize pollution through proper measures and ensure that the vehicles are emitting the pollutants within the range of regular pollution check. This can lead to a pollution free region in the area.

Proper pavement construction, greening of roadside space along with strict pollution laws, converting heavy motor vehicles from diesel to compressed natural gas, regular pollution check on two wheelers and checking industrial emission will go a long way in controlling air pollution in Pune region.
