• Abstract: This is a relevant problem because the design of most cities prioritizes the use of motorized vehicles, which has degraded air quality in recent years, having a negative effect on urban health. Modeling, predicting, and forecasting ambient air pollution is an important way to deal with this issue because it would be helpful for decision-makers and urban city planners to understand the phenomena and to take solutions. In general, data-driven methods for modeling, predicting, and forecasting outdoor pollution requires an important amount of data, which may limit their accuracy. In order to deal with such a lack of data, we propose to train models able to generate synthetic nitrogen dioxide daily time series according to a given classification that will allow an unlimited generation of realistic data. The main experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is able to generate accurate and diverse pollution daily time series, while requiring reduced computational time.

  Air pollution varies in a manner and depends on many complicated factors. An image-based representation may not be ideal as air pollution and other impact factors have natural graph structures. A Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) can efficiently represent the spatial features of air quality readings in the whole city. Our approach is superior to a hybrid GCN-based method in a real-world air pollution dataset.
