Abstract

People have been paying more and more attention to their surroundings in recent years, and the problem of air quality, which affects a significant portion of our surroundings, warrants our attention. Ground-level ozone, particulate pollutants, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide make up the five components of the Air Quality Index, which is a key index for describing the state of the air. Predicting Air Quality Index values using deep learning is crucial for addressing the issue of air pollution. This study compares the prediction accuracy of Long Short-Term Memory and Convolutional Neural Networks on time-series class data, and the results show that Long Short-Term Memory is significantly better than Convolutional Neural Networks in predicting Air Quality Index values. The study uses the actual Air Quality Index data of a specific city for 720 consecutive hours to predict Air Quality Index values using deep learning. When creating the model based on the visualization, a visual presentation is created to demonstrate the data, prediction model, and metrics for calculating the Air Quality Index. The visual display and model building of Air Quality Index indexes are beneficial to giving us a deeper understanding of air pollution problems, and play an important role in setting further policies to improve air quality and prevent respiratory diseases, etc.
