چکیده

Particulate air pollution is associated with a range of effects on human health, including effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, asthma and mortality. Hence, the development of an efficient forecasting and early warning system for providing air quality information towards the citizen becomes an obvious and imperative need. The objective of this work was to investigate that forecasting capability using linear models (such as ARX, ARMAX, output-error and Box-Jenkins), and neural networks. They were used meteorological variables and 24-h PM10 concentration of the present day as input data. As output foreseen by the models, the 24-h PM10 concentration is obtained, with horizon of prediction of up to three days ahead. The results showed that fairly good estimates can be achieved by all of the models, but Box-Jenkins model showed best fit and predictability.
