Timezone-Aware Auto-Regressive Long Short-Term Memory Model for Multi-Pollutant Prediction

The data used in this work is collected using the AirBox Sense system developed to detect six air pollutants, ambient  temperature, and ambient relative humidity. The pollutants  are Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), surface Ozone (O3), Carbon  Monoxide (CO), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Particulate Matter  (PM2.5, and PM10). The sensors monitor these pollutants in real-time and store them in a cloud-based platform using a cellular module. Data are collected every 20 seconds, producing  4320 readings each day. Data instances collected from July 2022 to December 2022 are used as training and validation  data. To validate, the trained model is used to predict the  pollution for seven days (01 January 2023 to 07 January 2023). Six sensors were deployed in geologically separate locations
