Outdoor Particulate Matter Correlation Analysis and Prediction Based Deep Learning in the Korea

초록

Particulate matter (PM) has become a problem worldwide, with many deleterious health effects such as worsened asthma, affected lungs, and various toxin-induced cancers. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated PM as a group 1 carcinogen. Although Korea Environment Corporation forecasts the status of outdoor PM four times a day, whichever is higher among PM(10)and PM2.5. Korea Environment Corporation forecasts for the stages of PM. It remains difficult to predict the value of PM when going out. We correlate air quality and solar terms, address format, and weather data, and PM in the Korea. We analyzed the correlation between address format, air quality data, and weather data, and PM. We evaluated performance according to the sequence length and batch size and found the best outcome with a sequence length of 7 days, and a batch size of 96. We performed PM prediction using the Long Short-Term Recurrent Unit (LSTM), the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) models. The CNN model suffered the limitation of only predicting from the training data, not from the test data. The LSTM and GRU models generated similar prediction results. We confirmed that the LSTM model has higher accuracy than the other two models.
