Application of rough sets theory in air quality assessment

Abstract

This paper analyses rough sets approaches to air quality assessment in given locality of the Czech Republic (CR). Original data for modeling we obtained from the daily observation of air polluting substances concentrations in town Pardubice. Two applications were used for decision rules computation and achieved results are compared and analysed. Output of this paper is the proposal how to assign an air quality index (AQI) to the selected locality, on the basis of various attributes. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
