Detection and Prediction of Air Pollution using Machine Learning Models

The regulation of air pollutant levels is rapidly increasing and its one of the most important tasks for the governments of developing countries, especially India. It is important that people know what the level of pollution in their surroundings is and takes a step towards fighting against it. The meteorological and traffic factors, burning of fossil fuels, industrial parameters such as power plant emissions play significant roles in air pollution. Among all the particulate matter (PM) that determine the quality of the air. When its level is high in the air, it causes serious issues on people’s health. Hence, controlling it by constantly keeping a check on its level in the air is important.
