ABSTRACT
Air pollution has become a major issue in large cities because increasing traffic,
industrialization and it becomes more difficult to manage due to its hazardous
effects on the human health and many air pollution-triggering factors. This
paper puts forth a machine learning approach to evaluate the accuracy and
potential of such mobile generated information for prediction of air pollution.
Temperature, wind, humidity play a vital role in influencing the pollution
dispersion and accumulation, majorly influencing the prediction of pollution
levels. Thus, this paper includes the atmospheric condition information
registered throughout the study period in order to understand the influence of
these factors on air pollution monitoring. Data driven modelling is an efficient
way of extracting valuable information from generated data sets, however it is
less efficient when the data is incomplete or contains inaccuracies. This
modelling approach has true potential for real time operations because it can
detect non-linear spatial relationships between sensing units and could aggregate
results for regional investigation. Neural networks comparatively showed good
capability in air quality prediction than support vector regression.

I. INTRODUCTION
Addressing air pollution problems in growing urban
cities has become a serious downside due to ever-
increasing traffic in densely inhabited urban areas,
extended industrialization, high-energy consumption,
skimpy resources for monitoring and various issues in
shaping custom-made policies. The challenge of
managing air pollution becomes tougher because of
its dangerous effects on public health and the
multitude of air pollution triggering factors.
Therefore, numerous studies in recent years are
concentrating on evaluating the impact of bad air
quality on citizens. This is done by moving away
from traditional monitoring stations which are
normally placed in high altitude locations across
