Forecasting the Exceedances of PM2.5 in an Urban Area

Particular matter (PM) constitutes one of the major air pollutants. Human exposure to fine PM (PM with a median diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm, PM2.5) has many negative and diverse outcomes for human health, such as respiratory mortality, lung cancer, etc. Accurate air-quality forecasting on a regional scale enables local agencies to design and apply appropriate policies (e.g., meet specific emissions limitations) to tackle the problem of air pollution. Under this framework, low-cost sensors have recently emerged as a valuable tool, facilitating the spatiotemporal monitoring of air pollution on a local scale. In this study, we present a deep learning approach (long short-term memory, LSTM) to forecast the intra-day air pollution exceedances across urban and suburban areas. The PM2.5 data used in this study were collected from 12 well-calibrated low-cost sensors (Purple Air) located in the greater area of the Municipality of Thermi in Thessaloniki, Greece. The LSTM-based methodology implements PM2.5 data as well as auxiliary data, meteorological variables from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), which is operated by ECMWF, and time variables related to local emissions to enhance the air pollution forecasting performance. The accuracy of the model forecasts reported adequate results, revealing a correlation coefficient between the measured PM2.5 and the LSTM forecast data ranging between 0.67 and 0.94 for all time horizons, with a decreasing trend as the time horizon increases. Regarding air pollution exceedances, the LSTM forecasting system can correctly capture more than 70.0% of the air pollution exceedance events in the study region. The latter findings highlight the model’s capabilities to correctly detect possible WHO threshold exceedances and provide valuable information regarding local air quality.

Foreløpig vurdering av luftforurensningen i Norge, etter EUs nye luftkvalitetsdirektiver. NILU OR

Larssen, S.; Hagen, L.O.; Tønnesen, D.

Rapporten gir resultatene av "Foreløpig vurdering, FV" av luftkvaliteten i valgte soner i Norge, ifølge kravene i EU-direktivene. På grunnlag av FV er det gitt to alternative forslag til endelig sone-inndeling for Norge etter luftkvalitetsdirektivene, som skal danne grunnlag for senere årlig rapportering til EU-kommisjonen. Det nødvendige målenettverket er også detaljert.
