Air quality prediction is a significant field in environmental engineering, as air and water are essential for life on Earth. Nowadays, a common parameter used worldwide to measure air quality is termed as Air quality index. The parameter is measured based on the air pollutant concentration. The hybrid neuronal networks have been widely used for modeling air quality index. In the quest of optimizing the error in modeling air quality index, the existing adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is improved in this study using algorithms based on evolution and swarm movement. The model is based on the prominent air pollutants- nitrogen oxide, particulate matter of size equal to or less than 2.5microns (PM2.5), and sulphur dioxide. The proposed hybrid model using wavelet transform, particle swarm optimization, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system accurately predicts the Air Quality Index and can be used in the public interest to take necessary precautions beforehand.

Introduction: The estimation of air pollution level is well indicated by Air Quality Index (AQI), which tells how unhealthy the ambient air is and how polluted it can become in near future. Hence, the predictions or modeling of AQI is always of greater concern among researchers and this present study aims to develop such a model for forecasting the AQI. Materials and methods: A combination of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Fuzzy logic (FL) system, called Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) have been considered for model development. Daily air quality data (PM2.5 and PM10) and meteorological data (temperature and humidity) over a period of March 2020 to March 2021 were used as the input data and AQI as the output variable for the ANFIS model. The performances of models were evaluated based on Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Regression coefficient (R2) and Average Absolute Relative Deviation (AARD). Results: A total of 100 datasets is split into training (70), testing (15) and simulation (15). Gaussian and Constant membership functions were employed for classifications and the final index consisted of 81 inference (IF/THEN) rules. The ANFIS Simulation result shows an R2 and RMSE value of 0.9872 and 0.0287 respectively. Conclusion: According to the results from this study, ANFIS based AQI is a comprehensive tool for classification of air quality and it is inclined to produce accurate results. Therefore, local authorities in air quality assessment and management schemes can apply these reliable and suitable results.

Air pollution is the presence of substances in the atmosphere that are harmful to the health of humans and other living beings. It is caused by solid and liquid particles and certain gases that are suspended in the air.  The air pollution index (API) or also known as air quality index (AQI) is an indicator for the air quality status at any area.  It is commonly used to report the level of severity of air pollution to public and to identify the poor air quality zone.  The AQI value is calculated based on average concentration of air pollutants such as Particulate Matter 10 (PM10), Ozone (O3), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2).  Predicting the value of AQI accurately is crucial to minimize the impact of air pollution on environment and human health.  The work presented here proposes a model to predict the AQI value using fuzzy inference system (FIS). FIS is the most well-known application of fuzzy logic and has been successfully applied in many fields.  This method is proposed as the perfect technique for dealing with environmental well known and tackling the choice made below uncertainty.  There are five levels or indicators of AQI, namely good, moderate, unhealthy, very unhealthy, and hazardous. This measurement is based on classification made from the Department of Environment (DOE) under the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI). The results obtained from the actual data are compared with the results from the proposed model.  With the accuracy rate of 93%, it shows that the proposed model is meeting the highest standard of accuracy in forecasting the AQI value.
