The major air pollutants in Malaysia that contribute to air pollution are carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter. Predicting the air pollutants concentration can help the government to monitor air quality and provide awareness to the public. Therefore, this study aims to overcome the problem by predicting the air pollutants concentration for the next day. This study focuses on an industrial, the Petaling Jaya monitoring station in Selangor. The data is obtained from the Department of Environment, which contains the dataset from 2004 to 2018. Subsequently, this study is conducted to construct predictive modeling that can predict the air pollutants concentrations for the next day using a tree-based approach. From the comparison of the three models, a random forest is a best-proposed model. The results of PM10 concentration prediction for the random forest is the best performance which is shown by RMSE (15.7611–19.0153), NAE (0.6508–0.8216), and R2 (0.346–0.5911). For SO2, the RMSE was 0.0016–0.0017, the NAE was 0.7056–0.8052, and the R2 was 0.3219–0.4676. The RMSE (0.0062–0.0075), the NAE (0.7892–0.9591), and the R2 (0.0814–0.3609) for NO2. The RMSE (0.3438–0.3975), NAE (0.7387–0.9015), and R2 (0.2005–0.4399) for CO were all within acceptable limits. For O3, the RMSE was 0.0051–0.0057, the NAE was 0.8386–0.9263, and the R2 was 0.1379–0.2953. The API calculation results indicate that PM10 is a significant pollutant in representing the API.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
