This paper addresses the problem of automated learning of air pollution predictive models that were trained using information gathered by a set of mobile low-cost sensors. Concretely, fast to compute machine learning methods (Decision Trees and Support Vector Machines) were used to build regression models that predict air pollution levels for a given location. The models were trained using the data collected by...
Concerns about air pollution have increased recently. Currently, 94% of the world population face air pollution levels considered unsafe by the World Health Organization, which tells us that efforts are needed to raise people’s awareness about air pollution. The use of serious games and gamification of interactive applications have raised people’s perception. This work presents Problems in the Air, a game devel...
Particulate matter (PM) is a harmful air pollutant that damages human health by inducing oxidative stress through the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative Potential (OP) is a proposed metric to measure PM's capacity to generate ROS (Almetwally et al., 2020; Jiang et al., 2019). This study aims to implement the OPDTT assessment methodology at C2TN (Portugal). A set of PM2.5 samples wa...
