Abstract

Air pollution nowadays is a serious threat to life. In terms of the global air quality, nitrogen dioxide is one of the prominent pollutants as per the reports of the World Health Organization. Nitrogen dioxide is the cause of about 92% of the asthma cases. Epidemiological studies have unfolded nitrogen dioxide contribution to mortality. Apart from the significant health effects, it also plays a role in the formation of other major pollutants ozone and particulate matter. The monitoring and assessment of pollutants is a complex and expensive procedure, simultaneously very important for the country’s wealth and health. The problem is dealt with before using various statistic and deterministic models considering the dependence of nitrogen dioxide on different pollutants and meteorological parameters. The present study contributes to the prediction of nitrogen dioxide for good policy making. The proposed model is less resource-intensive and more effective compared to the existing models.
