Pm2.5 Concentration

The concentration of PM2.5 is an important index to measure the degree of air pollution. When it exceeds the standard value, it is considered to cause pollution and lower the air quality, which is harmful to human health and can cause a variety of diseases, i.e., asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc. Therefore, the prediction of PM2.5 concentration is helpful to reduce its harm. In this paper, a hybrid model called CNN-BiLSTM-Attention is proposed to predict the PM2.5 concentration over the next two days. First, we select the PM2.5 concentration data in hours from January 2013 to February 2017 of Shunyi District, Beijing. The auxiliary data includes air quality data and meteorological data. We use the sliding window method for preprocessing and dividing the corresponding data into a training set, a validation set, and a test set. Second, CNN-BiLSTM-Attention is composed of the convolutional neural network, bidirectional long short-term memory neural network, and attention mechanism. The parameters of this network structure are determined by the minimum error in the training process, including the size of the convolution kernel, activation function, batch size, dropout rate, learning rate, etc. We determine the feature size of the input and output by evaluating the performance of the model, finding out the best output for the next 48 h. Third, in the experimental part, we use the test set to check the performance of the proposed CNN-BiLSTM-Attention on PM2.5 prediction, which is compared by other comparison models, i.e., lasso regression, ridge regression, XGBOOST, SVR, CNN-LSTM, and CNN-BiLSTM. We conduct short-term prediction (48 h) and long-term prediction (72 h, 96 h, 120 h, 144 h), respectively. The results demonstrate that even the predictions of the next 144 h with CNN-BiLSTM-Attention is better than the predictions of the next 48 h with the comparison models in terms of mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2).

Pm2.5 Concentration

<p>In order to improve the accuracy of PM2.5 concentration forecast in Beijing Meteorological Bureau, a deep learning prediction model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short term memory neural network (LSTM) was proposed. Firstly, the feature vectors extraction was carried out by using the correlation analysis technique from meteorological data such as temperature, wind, relative humidity, precipitation, visibility and atmospheric pressure. Secondly, taking into account the fact that PM2.5 concentration was significantly affected by surrounding meteorological impact factors, meteorological grid analysis data was novel involved into the model, as well as the historical PM2.5 concentration data and meteorological observation data of the present station. Spatio-temporal sequence data was generated from these data after integrated processing. High level spatio-temporal features were extracted through the combination of the CNN and LSTM. Finally, future 24-hour prediction of PM2.5 concentration was made by the model. The comparison among the accuracy of this optimized model, support vector machine (SVM) and existing PM2.5 forecast system is performed to evaluate their performance. The results show that the proposed CNN-LSTM model performs better than SVM and current operational models in Beijing Meteorological Bureau, which has effectively improved the prediction accuracy of PM2.5 concentration for different time predictions scales in the next 24 hours.</p>

Proposed Model

Accurate monitoring of air quality can no longer meet people’s needs. People hope to predict air quality in advance and make timely warnings and defenses to minimize the threat to life. This paper proposed a new air quality spatiotemporal prediction model to predict future air quality and is based on a large number of environmental data and a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. In order to capture the spatial and temporal characteristics of the pollutant concentration data, the data of the five sites with the highest correlation of time-series concentration of PM2.5 (particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 mm) at the experimental site were first extracted, and the weather data and other pollutant data at the same time were merged in the next step, extracting advanced spatiotemporal features through long- and short-term memory neural networks. The model presented in this paper was compared with other baseline models on the hourly PM2.5 concentration data set collected at 35 air quality monitoring sites in Beijing from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2017. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed model is better than other baseline models.

Pm2.5 Concentration

Abstract. Over the past few decades, air pollution has caused serious damage on public health, thus making accurate predictions of PM2.5 crucial. Due to the transportation of air pollutants among areas, the PM2.5 concentration is strongly spatiotemporal correlated. However, the distribution of air pollution monitoring sites is not even, making the spatiotemporal correlation between the central site and surrounding sites varies with different density of sites, and this was neglected by most existing methods. To tackle this problem, this study proposed a weighted long short-term memory neural network extended model (WLSTME), which addressed the issue that how to consider the effect of the density of sites and wind condition on the spatiotemporal correlation of air pollution concentration. First, several the nearest surrounding sites were chosen as the neighbour sites to the central station, and their distance as well as their air pollution concentration and wind condition were input to multi-layer perception (MLP) to generate weighted historical PM2.5 time series data. Second, historical PM2.5 concentration of the central site and weighted PM2.5 series data of neighbour sites were input into LSTM to address spatiotemporal dependency simultaneously and extract spatiotemporal features. Finally, another MLP was utilized to integrate spatiotemporal features extracted above with the meteorological data of central site to generate the forecasts future PM_2.5 concentration of the central site. Daily PM_2.5 concentration and meteorological data on Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei from 2015 to 2017 were collected to train models and evaluate the performance. Experimental results with 3 other methods showed that the proposed WLSTME model has the lowest RMSE (40.67) and MAE (26.10) and the highest p (0.59). This finding confirms that WLSTME can significantly improve the PM2.5 prediction accuracy.
