Modelling particulate matter (PM10) concentration in industrialized area: A comparative study of linear and nonlinear algorithms

Particulate matter is a critical air pollutant in Malaysia as it is the utmost dominant pollutant, especially in industrial and urban areas. The development of a robust model for PM10 concentration forecasting provides invaluable information for local authorities to take precautionary measures and i...
