A refined deep-learning-based algorithm for harmful-algal-bloom remote-sensing recognition using Noctiluca scintillans algal bloom as an example. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 467:133721. [PMID: 38341893 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are challenging to recognize because of their striped and uneven biomass distributions. To address this issue, a refined deep-learning algorithm termed HAB-Ne was developed for the recognition of HABs in GF-1 Wide Field of View (WFV) images using Noctiluca scintillans algal bloom as an example. First, a pretrained image super-resolution model was integrated to improve the spatial resolution of the GF-1 WFV images and minimize the impact of mixed pixels caused by the strip distribution. Side-window convolution was also explored to enhance the edge features of HABs and minimize the effects of uneven biomass distribution. In addition, a convolutional encoder-decoder network was constructed for threshold-free HAB recognition to address the dependence on thresholds in existing methods. HAB-Net effectively recognized HABs from GF-1 WFV images, achieving an average precision of 90.1% and an F1-score of 0.86. HAB-Net showed more fine-grained recognition results than those of existing methods, with over 4% improvement in the F1-Score, especially in the marginal areas of HAB distribution. The algorithm demonstrated its effectiveness in recognizing HABs in different marine environments, such as the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and northern Vietnam. Additionally, the algorithm was proven suitable for detecting the macroalga Sargassum. This study demonstrates the potential of deep-learning-based fine-grained recognition of HABs, which can be extended to the recognition of other fine-scale and strip-distributed objects, such as oil spills and Ulva prolifera.

Sludge bulking monitoring in industrial wastewater treatment plants through graphical methods: A dynamic graph embedding and Bayesian networks approach. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 345:118804. [PMID: 37595462 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
Sludge bulking is a prevalent issue in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) that negatively impacts effluent quality by hindering the normal functioning of treatment processes. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel graph-based monitoring framework that employs advanced graph-based techniques to detect and diagnose sludge bulking events. The proposed framework utilizes historical datasets under normal operating conditions to extract pertinent features and causal relationships between process variables. This enables operators to trigger alarms and diagnose the root cause of the bulking event. Sludge bulking detection is carried out using the dynamic graph embedding (DGE) method, which identifies similarities among process variables in both temporal and neighborhood dependencies. Consequently, the dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) computes the prior and posterior probabilities of a belief, updated at each time step. Variations in these probabilities indicate the potential root cause of the sludge bulking event. The results demonstrate that the DGE outperforms other linear and non-linear feature extraction methods, achieving a detection rate of 99%, zero false alarms, and less than one percent incorrect detections. Additionally, the DBN-based diagnostic method accurately identified the majority of sludge bulking root causes, primarily those resulting from sudden drops in COD concentration, with an accuracy of 98% an improvement of 11% over state-of-the-art techniques.

Abstract
With the development of IoT technology and low-cost indoor air quality (IAQ) sensors, the IoT-based IAQ monitoring platform has garnered significant research interest and demonstrated its potential in enhancing IAQ management. This study presents a comprehensive review of previous research on the development and application of IoT-based IAQ platforms in different built environments. It offers detailed insights into the design and implementation of recent IoT-based IAQ platforms. The findings indicate that the IoT-based IAQ platforms are able to provide reliable information for IAQ monitoring. To ensure quality control of the IoT-based IAQ platform, it is suggested to replace the sensors every 4-6 months for reliable monitoring. In another aspect, integrating data-driven technology into the platform is crucial for IAQ prediction and efficient control of ventilation systems, leveraging the wealth of data available from the IoT platform. According to recent studies that applied data-driven algorithms for IAQ management, it can be confirmed that the data-driven algorithms are able to prompt IAQ by providing either more information or a control strategy. However, it should be noted that only 9.1 % of the developed platforms integrated data-driven models for IAQ management. Based on our findings, current challenges and further opportunities are discussed. Future studies should focus on integrating data-driven algorithms into IoT-based IAQ platforms and developing digital twins that can be used for real building IAQ management. However, there is obvious tension between controlling ventilation for energy efficiency versus better air quality. It is important to make a balance between energy efficiency and better air quality according to the current situations of specific built environments. Also, the next generation of IoT-based IAQ platforms should include occupants in the loop to create a more occupant-centric IAQ management approach.

Dong J, Goodman N, Rajagopalan P. A Review of Artificial Neural Network Models Applied to Predict Indoor Air Quality in Schools. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:6441. [PMID: 37568983 PMCID: PMC10419013 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20156441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools can affect the performance and health of occupants, especially young children. Increased public attention on IAQ during the COVID-19 pandemic and bushfires have boosted the development and application of data-driven models, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) that can be used to predict levels of pollutants and indoor exposures. METHODS This review summarises the types and sources of indoor air pollutants (IAP) and the indicators of IAQ. This is followed by a systematic evaluation of ANNs as predictive models of IAQ in schools, including predictive neural network algorithms and modelling processes. The methods for article selection and inclusion followed a systematic, four-step process: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. RESULTS After screening and selection, nine predictive papers were included in this review. Traditional ANNs were used most frequently, while recurrent neural networks (RNNs) models analysed time-series issues such as IAQ better. Meanwhile, current prediction research mainly focused on using indoor PM2.5 and CO2 concentrations as output variables in schools and did not cover common air pollutants. Although studies have highlighted the impact of school building parameters and occupancy parameters on IAQ, it is difficult to incorporate them in predictive models. CONCLUSIONS This review presents the current state of IAQ predictive models and identifies the limitations and future research directions for schools.

Abstract
The present study focuses on the prediction and assessment of the impact of lockdown because of coronavirus pandemic on the air quality during three different phases, viz., normal periods (1 January 2018-23 March 2020), complete lockdown (24 March 2020-31 May 2020), and partial lockdown (1 June 2020-30 September 2020). We identify the most important air pollutants influencing the air quality of Kolkata during three different periods using Random Forest, a tree-based machine learning (ML) algorithm. It is found that the ambient air quality of Kolkata is mainly affected with the aid of particulate matter or PM (PM10 and PM2.5). However, the effect of the lockdown is most prominent on PM2.5 which spreads in the air of Kolkata due to diesel-driven vehicles, domestic and commercial combustion activities, road dust, and open burning. To predict urban PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations 24 h in advance, we use a deep learning (DL) model, namely, stacked-bidirectional long short-term memory (stacked-BDLSTM). The model is trained during the normal periods, and it shows the superiority over some supervised ML models, like support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor classifier, multilayer perceptron, long short-term memory, and statistical time series forecasting model autoregressive integrated moving average. This pre-trained stacked-BDLSTM is applied to predict the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 during the pandemic situation of two cases, viz., complete lockdown and partial lockdown using a deep model-based transfer learning (TL) approach (TLS-BDLSTM). Transfer learning aims to utilize the information gained from one problem to improve the predictive performance of a learning model for a different but related problem. Our work helps to demonstrate how TL is useful when there is a scarcity of data during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding the drastic change in concentration of pollutants. The results reveal the best prediction performance of TLS-BDLSTM with a lead time of 24 h as compared to some well-known traditional ML and statistical models and the pre-trained stacked-BDLSTM. The prediction is then validated using the real-time data obtained during the complete lockdown due to COVID second wave (16 May-15 June 2021) with different time steps, e.g., 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96-120 h. TLS-BDLSTM involving transfer learning is seen to outperform the said comparing methods in modeling the long-term temporal dependency of multivariate time series data and boost the forecast efficiency not only in single step, but also in multiple steps. The proposed methodologies are effective, consistent, and can be used by operational organizations to utilize in monitoring and management of air quality.

Abstract
In theory, building automation and management systems (BAMSs) can provide all the components and functionalities required for analyzing and operating buildings. However, in reality, these systems can only ensure the control of heating ventilation and air conditioning system systems. Therefore, many other tasks are left to the operator, e.g. evaluating buildings’ performance, detecting abnormal energy consumption, identifying the changes needed to improve efficiency, ensuring the security and privacy of end-users, etc. To that end, there has been a movement for developing artificial intelligence (AI) big data analytic tools as they offer various new and tailor-made solutions that are incredibly appropriate for practical buildings’ management. Typically, they can help the operator in (i) analyzing the tons of connected equipment data; and; (ii) making intelligent, efficient, and on-time decisions to improve the buildings’ performance. This paper presents a comprehensive systematic survey on using AI-big data analytics in BAMSs. It covers various AI-based tasks, e.g. load forecasting, water management, indoor environmental quality monitoring, occupancy detection, etc. The first part of this paper adopts a well-designed taxonomy to overview existing frameworks. A comprehensive review is conducted about different aspects, including the learning process, building environment, computing platforms, and application scenario. Moving on, a critical discussion is performed to identify current challenges. The second part aims at providing the reader with insights into the real-world application of AI-big data analytics. Thus, three case studies that demonstrate the use of AI-big data analytics in BAMSs are presented, focusing on energy anomaly detection in residential and office buildings and energy and performance optimization in sports facilities. Lastly, future directions and valuable recommendations are identified to improve the performance and reliability of BAMSs in intelligent buildings.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) of sizes less than 10 µm (PM10) and 2.5 µm (PM2.5) found in the environment is a major health concern. As PM is more prevalent in an enclosed environment, such as a subway station, this can have a negative impact on the health of commuters and staff. Therefore, it is essential to continuously monitor PM on underground subway platforms and control it using a subway ventilation control system. In order to operate the ventilation system in a predictive way, a credible prediction model for indoor air quality (IAQ) is proposed. While the existing deterministic methods require extensive calculations and domain knowledge, deep learning-based approaches showed good performance in recent studies. In this study, we develop an effective hybrid deep learning framework to forecast future PM10 and PM2.5 on a subway platform using past air quality data. This hybrid framework is an integration of several deep learning frameworks, namely, convolution neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and deep neural network (DNN), and is called hybrid CNN-LSTM-DNN; it has the characteristics to capture temporal patterns and informative characteristics from the indoor and outdoor air quality parameters compared with the standalone deep learning models. The effectiveness of the proposed PM10 and PM2.5 forecasting framework is demonstrated using comparisons with the different existing deep learning models.

Abstract
Rapid progress of industrial development, urbanization and traffic has caused air quality reduction that negatively affects human health and environmental sustainability, especially among developed countries. Numerous studies on the development of air quality forecasting model using machine learning have been conducted to control air pollution. As such, there are significant numbers of reviews on the application of machine learning in air quality forecasting. Shallow architectures of machine learning exhibit several limitations and yield lower forecasting accuracy than deep learning architecture. Deep learning is a new technology in computational intelligence; thus, its application in air quality forecasting is still limited. This study aims to investigate the deep learning applications in time series air quality forecasting. Owing to this, literature search is conducted thoroughly from all scientific databases to avoid unnecessary clutter. This study summarizes and discusses different types of deep learning algorithms applied in air quality forecasting, including the theoretical backgrounds, hyperparameters, applications and limitations. Hybrid deep learning with data decomposition, optimization algorithm and spatiotemporal models are also presented to highlight those techniques' effectiveness in tackling the drawbacks of individual deep learning models. It is clearly stated that hybrid deep learning was able to forecast future air quality with higher accuracy than individual models. At the end of the study, some possible research directions are suggested for future model development. The main objective of this review study is to provide a comprehensive literature summary of deep learning applications in time series air quality forecasting that may benefit interested researchers for subsequent research.

Abstract
Airborne particulate matter (PM) has become a global environmental issue. This PM has harmful effects on public health and precision industries. Conventional air-quality monitoring methods usually utilize expensive equipment, and they are cumbersome to handle for accurate and high throughput measurements. In addition, commercial particle counters have technical limitations in high-concentration measurement, and data fluctuations are induced during air sampling. In this study, a novel smartphone-based technique for monitoring airborne PM concentrations was developed using smartphone-based digital holographic microscopy (S-DHM) and deep learning network called Holo-SpeckleNet. Holographic speckle images of various PM concentrations were recorded by the S-DHM system. The recorded speckle images and the corresponding ground truth PM concentrations were used to train deep learning algorithms consisting of a deep autoencoder and regression layers. The performance of the proposed smartphone-based PM monitoring technique was validated through hyperparameter optimization. The developed S-DHM integrated with Holo-SpeckleNet can be smartly and effectively utilized for portable PM monitoring and safety alarm provision under perilous environmental conditions.

Abstract
Road dust is one of the primary sources of particulate matter which has implications for air quality, climate and health. With the aim of characterizing the emissions, in this study, a bottom-up approach of county level emission inventory from paved road dust based on field investigation was developed. An inventory of high-resolution paved road dust (PRD) emissions by monthly and spatial allocation at 1 km × 1 km resolution in Harbin in 2016 was compiled using accessible county level, seasonal data and local parameters based on field investigation to increase temporal-spatial resolution. The results demonstrated the total PRD emissions of TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 in Harbin were 270,207 t, 54,597 t, 14,059 t, respectively. The temporal variation trends of pollutant emissions from PRD was consistent with the characteristics of precipitation, with lower emissions in winter and summer, and higher emissions in spring and autumn. The spatial allocation of emissions has a strong association with Harbin’s road network, mainly concentrating in the central urban area compared to the surrounding counties. Through scenario analysis, positive control measures were essential and effective for PRD pollution. The inventory developed in this study reflected the level of fugitive dust on paved road in Harbin, and it could reduce particulate matter pollution with the development of mitigation strategies and could comply with air quality modelling requirements, especially in the frigid region of northeastern China.
