• Abstract: Acknowledging the effects of outdoor air pollution, the literature inadequately addresses indoor air pollution's impacts. Despite daily health risks, existing research primarily focused on monitoring, lacking accuracy in pinpointing indoor pollution sources. In our research work, we thoroughly investigated the influence of indoor activities on pollution levels. A survey of 143 participants revealed limited awareness of indoor air pollution. Leveraging 65 days of diverse data encompassing activities like incense stick usage, indoor smoking, inadequately ventilated cooking, excessive AC usage, and accidental paper burning, we developed a comprehensive monitoring system. We identify pollutant sources and effects with high precision through clustering analysis and interpretability models (LIME and SHAP). Our method integrates Decision Trees, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, and SVM models, excelling at 99.8% accuracy with Decision Trees. Continuous 24-hour data allows personalized assessments for targeted pollution reduction strategies, achieving 91% accuracy in predicting activities and pollution exposure.

  We study the effects of contamination on language models at 1B and 8B scales on the machine translation task. Our experiments reveal that contamination with both source and target substantially inflates BLEU scores. In contrast, source-only and target-only contamination generally produce smaller, less consistent over-estimations.

Our results suggest that future benchmarks should carefully consider real downstream scientific questions, especially causal ones.

The results showed that a weak to moderate correlation exists between the corresponding measures and the pollutant factors and it is possible to create models which can predict the behaviour of the pollutant gases under daily human activities.
