AI for Air Quality Monitoring: Predictive Models for Urban Health
Harness AI to Monitor, Predict, and Mitigate Urban Air Pollution for Healthier Cities.
About This Course
This 3-day hands-on workshop focuses on using AI and machine learning techniques to monitor and predict air quality in urban environments. Participants will explore the impact of pollutants on health, use various data sources (IoT sensors, satellite data, etc.), and build predictive models to forecast air quality. Additionally, participants will learn how to design pollution mitigation strategies and visualize air quality data through dashboards to inform urban health improvements.
Aim
To equip participants with the skills to build AI-driven models for air quality forecasting and develop pollution mitigation strategies to improve urban health outcomes.
Course Objectives
- Understand the impact of key air pollutants (PM2.5, NOx, SOโ, CO) on urban health.
- Learn about various data collection sources for air quality monitoring (IoT sensors, monitoring stations, satellite data).
- Preprocess historical air quality data for analysis (handling missing data, time-series alignment, and spatial resolution).
- Build predictive models using AI techniques (ARIMA, LSTM, Random Forest) to forecast air quality levels.
- Apply machine learning model evaluation techniques (RMSE, MAE) to assess prediction accuracy.
- Develop pollution mitigation strategies and real-time air quality prediction dashboards for urban health improvement.
- Create geographic risk maps to identify areas with high pollution and health risks.
Syllabus
๐ Day 1 โ Understanding Air Quality and Data Collection
