Abstract

Lockdowns were implemented in nearly all countries in the world in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The majority of the production activities like industries, transportation, and construction were restricted completely. This unprecedented stagnation of resident’s consumption and industrial production has efficiently reduced air pollution emissions, providing typical and natural test sites to estimate the effects of human activity controlling on air pollution control and reduction. Air pollutants impose higher risks on the health of human beings and also damage the ecosystem. Previous research has used machine learning (ML) and statistical modeling to categorize and predict air pollution. This study developed a binary spring search optimization with hybrid deep learning (BSSO-HDL) for air pollution prediction and an air quality index (AQI) classification process during the pandemic. At the initial stage, the BSSO-HDL model pre-processes the actual air quality data and makes it compatible for further processing. In the presented BSSO-HDL model, an HDL-based air quality prediction and AQI classification model was applied in which the HDL was derived by the use of a convolutional neural network with an extreme learning machine (CNN-ELM) algorithm. To optimally modify the hyperparameter values of the BSSO-HDL model, the BSSO algorithm-based hyperparameter tuning procedure gets executed. The experimental outcome demonstrates the promising prediction classification performance of the BSSO-HDL model. This model, developed on the Python platform, was evaluated using the coefficient of determinationR², the mean absolute error (MAE), and the root mean squared error (RMSE) error measures. With an R² of 0.922, RMSE of 15.422, and MAE of 10.029, the suggested BSSO-HDL technique outperforms established models such as XGBoost, support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), and the ensemble model (EM). This demonstrates its ability in providing precise and reliable AQI predictions.
