Certain regions impose stricter limits due to their environmental conditions and population density.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a30afda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a30afda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Air Quality in Thessaloniki<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65a70d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65a70d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, has been struggling with poor air quality, due to the following factors:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5261e1a elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"5261e1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle-notch\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">High traffic volume, especially from cars and trucks<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle-notch\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Industrial activities, including manufacturing, shipping and energy production<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle-notch\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Residential heating during the winter, often from wood and coal burning<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle-notch\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Topography of Thessaloniki, which is surrounded by mountains, which can trap pollutants<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2283b3f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2283b3f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>By 2021, the situation had become so critical that the European Commission took legal action against Greece.

Our primary focus was on assessing the city&#8217;s air quality, with particular emphasis on PM2.5 due to its pronounced health implications.<\/p><p>Time-series of PM2.5 and temperature measurements from 2014 to 2016, were carefully chosen as they are the most representative and indicative of the expected impact of anthropogenic emissions on PM2.5 concentrations in the city. This pollutant exhibits remarkable day-to-day variability, with its peak occurring during the winter months when concentrations often exceed the threshold of 35, a limit defined by EPA&#8217;s 24-hour limits. In particular, the Egnatia monitoring station, located at the core, registers peak concentrations exceeding 150, while the Eptapyrgio monitoring station, located on the outskirts, registers peak concentrations exceeding 80.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61adfb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"61adfb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6074\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements.png 640w, https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47d99ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"47d99ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><i>PM2.5 measurements gathered from Egnatia monitoring station between 2014 and 2016<\/i><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-296b5c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"296b5c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6075\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements2.png 640w, https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dreven.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/measurements2-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ea74ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8ea74ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><i>PM2.5 measurements gathered from Eptapyrgio monitoring station between 2014 and 2016<\/i><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cc3964 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cc3964\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>However, during the preprocessing phase, some data gathered from these stations was missing.

This preliminary step served as a &#8220;sanity check&#8221; to ensure the reliability of our LSTM approach. This methodological stage is crucial, mainly because there is a lack of papers addressing air quality forecasting specific to Thessaloniki, making direct comparisons a noteworthy challenge.<\/p><p>In order to do this, we used Beijing Multi-Site Air-Quality dataset, which contains hourly measurements from 12 nationally-controlled air-quality monitoring sites across Beijing, China. We compared our model to the LSTM implementation presented in the paper titled &#8220;Air Quality Forecasting with Hybrid LSTM and Extended Stationary Wavelet Transform&#8221; and conducted experiments with an LSTM model for next-hour forecasts, using the preceding 15 hours as input. The outcomes indicated a close alignment between the performance of our LSTM implementation and the results reported in the paper mentioned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ea2ceb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7ea2ceb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Approach<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9113419 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9113419\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the experiments regarding Thessaloniki, forecasts were done using data from the preceding 15 days (about 2 weeks) as input.
