Abstract:

In order to provide valuable prediction data for the decision making of environmental protection, a model to predict the data of pollution sources is proposed based on Elman neural network. By using the proposed model and by taking SO2--the main pollutant in the atmosphere--as an object, the complex relationships between SO2 concentration and the factors, including the air temperature, the relative humidity, the wind speed, the time and the historical date, are investigated. After training, the proposed model is used to perform a simulation. The results demonstrate that the outputs calculated with the proposed model accord well with the sample outputs, and that the proposed model is more effective than the prediction model based on BP neural network.
