Abstract
Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful tool in environmental science, particularly in predicting and monitoring air quality. This abstract explores the impact of machine learning on air quality prediction, highlighting its contributions, challenges, and implications. ML algorithms, including regression models, neural networks, and ensemble methods, have demonstrated significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional modeling approaches. The integration of diverse data sources, such as satellite imagery, meteorological data, and real-time sensor readings, allows ML models to capture complex relationships and dynamic patterns in air pollutant concentrations. Moreover, the ability to adapt and learn from new data enables continuous refinement of predictions, enhancing the reliability of air quality forecasts. Challenges include the need for high-quality labeled datasets, interpretability of complex models, and the ethical considerations associated with biased predictions. Despite these challenges, the application of ML in air quality prediction holds immense promise for advancing our understanding of pollution dynamics, informing timely interventions, and ultimately contributing to the mitigation of air quality-related health risks. As research in this field progresses, the collaboration between data scientists, environmental experts, and policymakers becomes crucial to harness the full potential of machine learning for improving air quality management and public health outcomes.
