Abstract
As part of this research, the Ladik-Sarayönü area of Konya province’s air quality has been assessed utilizing an AI (Artificial Intelligence) method. A total of 103 field samples were analyzed experimentally. Data from experiments was used to inform the design of a multi-layer perceptron feed-forward back-propagation artificial neural network model. The Bayesian method has been employed as the training procedure in an artificial neural network model with 15 neurons in its hidden layer. One hundred experimental data points were used to develop a network model that predicts mercury values of the geoaccumulation index value in the output layer based on the following input variables: mercury, distance to the pollution source, source of pollution, characteristics of the sampled place and the primary factor that controls moving parameters. The majority (90%) of the data is used for the model’s training process, while the remaining (10%) is used for validation. By comparing the model’s anticipated outcomes with experimental data, an artificial neural network was used to evaluate the model’s prediction performance. To forecast mercury values of the geoaccumulation index, the created artificial neural network had an error rate of − 4.04 to 3.98% (with an average of − 0.58%). The MSE for the network model is 2.1 × 10−1, and the R value is 0.9533.
