“…In Morocco, exceedance of WHO air quality guideline values was frequently observed in heavy traffic zones [ 56 , 57 ], industrial zones, and in cities known by their important economic activities [ 57 ]. Moreover, due to the geographical position of the country, the natural process involving Sahara dust is an additive factor contributing to the increase in pollution precisely by PM 10 [ 58 ].…”

Purpose of Review The aim of this review is to summarize and provide clear insights into studies that evaluate the interaction between air pollution, climate, and health in North Africa. Recent Findings Few studies have estimated the effects of climate and air pollution on health in North Africa. Most of the studies highlighted the evidence of the link between climate and air pollution as driving factors and increased mortality and morbidity as health outcomes. Each North African country prioritized research on a specific health factor. It was observed that the health outcome from each driving factor depends on the studied area and data availability. The latter is a major challenge in the region. As such, more studies should be led in the future to cover more areas in North Africa and when more data are available. Data availability will help to explore the applicability of different tools and techniques new to the region. Summary This review explores studies related to climate and air pollution, and their possible impacts on health in North Africa. On one hand, air quality studies have focused mainly on particulate matter exceedance levels and their long-term exposure impacts, namely, morbidity and mortality. The observed differences between the various studies are mainly due to the used exposure–response function, the studied population, background emissions, and natural emission from the Sahara Desert that characterize the region. On the other hand, climate studies have focused primarily on the impact of heat waves, vector-borne disease, and mental disorders. More than half of these studies have been on leishmaniasis disease. The review revealed unbalanced and insufficient research on health impacts from air pollution episodes and climate extremes across the region.

“…To manage traffic based on pollution levels, model the road infrastructure, and generate suggestions for road users, [19] developed a comprehensive and flexible approach to issue solving strategy involves calculating the impact of road networks' the state of the air index and producing suggestions for rerouting traffic to improve the air quality on the roads. Contextual data and historical and current pollution records are used to do this.…”

This review article seeks to determine the most effective strategies to reduce traffic congestion which have been implanted in different countries and cities around the world. In this review, previous research work was gathered focusing on approaches for mitigating traffic congestion issues. The paper discovered that there are two ways to control congestion which are through supply-side actions, and demand-side actions, the paper also discovered that traffic modelling and simulation software packages are crucial to decision-makers because of its capability to evaluate and simulate the effects of any suggested improvements or strategies to reduce traffic congestions for a certain street network and for a whole city.

“…This result means that the majority of the published studies are still very theoretical. A first interesting application system is proposed by Sadiq et al [71]. The purpose of their model is to regulate the traffic, in order to optimize pollution level while maximize the vehicle flow.…”

Machine Learning Approaches for Outdoor Air Quality Modelling: A Systematic Review

Current studies show that traditional deterministic models tend to struggle to capture the non-linear relationship between the concentration of air pollutants and their sources of emission and dispersion. To tackle such a limitation, the most promising approach is to use statistical models based on machine learning techniques. Nevertheless, it is puzzling why a certain algorithm is chosen over another for a given task. This systematic review intends to clarify this question by providing the reader with a comprehensive description of the principles underlying these algorithms and how they are applied to enhance prediction accuracy. A rigorous search that conforms to the PRISMA guideline is performed and results in the selection of the 46 most relevant journal papers in the area. Through a factorial analysis method these studies are synthetized and linked to each other. The main findings of this literature review show that: (i) machine learning is mainly applied in Eurasian and North American continents and (ii) estimation problems tend to implement Ensemble Learning and Regressions, whereas forecasting make use of Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines. The next challenges of this approach are to improve the prediction of pollution peaks and contaminants recently put in the spotlights (e.g., nanoparticles).
