Mitigating Air Pollution in Poland Through Machine Learning
![Omdena Featured image](https://cmsnew.omdena.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Mitigating-Air-Pollution-in-Poland-Through-Machine-Learning-scaled.jpg)
This Omdena Local Chapter Challenge runs for 4 weeks and is a unique experience to try and grow your skills in a collaborative and safe environment with a diverse mix of people from all over the world.
You will work on solving a local problem, initiated by the Warsaw, Poland Chapter.
The problem
Air pollution is a particular problem in Poland. The annual EEA reports on air quality show that Poland is among the countries with the worst air quality in Europe. Bad air quality affects people’s lives and constitutes a considerable health risk. Therefore, mitigating air pollution could improve quality of life and lead to an overall healthier society. At the same time, this would reduce costs for the Polish health care system.
An important step towards mitigation is the identification of the main factors and causes of air pollution specific to Poland. By using local time-series data on air pollutants together with other relevant country-specific data, an AI-assisted approach could yield valuable insights in this matter. In particular, a machine-learning model for air quality prediction could give policy makers a simple but powerful tool to help tackle the issue of air pollution in Poland.
The goals
- Identification of main factors contributing to air pollution in Poland.
- Prototype a simple machine-learning model to predict air quality (classification or regression model, conventional or deep learning model).
- Open source GitHub repository.
