Environmental pollution in urban areas may be mainly attributed to the rapid industrialization and increased growth of vehicular traffic. As a consequence of air quality deterioration, the health and welfare of human beings are compromised. Air quality monitoring networks usually are used not only to assess the pollutant trend but also in the effective set-up of preventive measures of atmospheric pollution. In this context, monitoring can be a valid action to evaluate different emission control scenarios; however, installing a high space-time resolution monitoring network is still expensive. Merge of observations data from low-cost air quality monitoring networks with forecasting models can contribute to improving significantly emission control scenarios. In this work, a validation algorithm of the forecasting model for the concentration of small particulates (PM10 and PM2.5) is proposed. Results showed a satisfactory agreement between the PM concentration forecast values and the measured data from 3 air quality monitoring stations. Final average RMSE values for all monitoring stations are equal to about 4.5 µg/m3.

Air quality (AQ) in urban areas is deteriorating, thus having negative effects on people’s everyday lives. Official air quality monitoring stations provide the most reliable information, but do not always depict air pollution levels at scales reflecting human activities. They also have a high cost and therefore are limited in number. This issue can be addressed by deploying low cost AQ monitoring devices (LCAQMD), though their measurements are of far lower quality. In this paper we study the correlation of air pollution levels reported by such a device and by a reference station for particulate matter, ozone and nitrogen dioxide in Thessaloniki, Greece. On this basis, a corrective factor is modeled via seven machine learning algorithms in order to improve the quality of measurements for the LCAQMD against reference stations, thus leading to its on-field computational improvement. We show that our computational intelligence approach can improve the performance of such a device for PM10 under operational conditions.
