| Summary: | Surface air pollution affects ecosystems and people’s health. However, traditional models have low prediction accuracy. Therefore, a hybrid model for accurately predicting daily surface PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations was integrated with wavelet (W), convolutional neural network (CNN), bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU). The data for meteorological factors and air pollutants in Guangzhou City from 2014 to 2020 were utilized as inputs to the models. The W-CNN-BiGRU-BiLSTM hybrid model demonstrated strong performance during the predicting phase, achieving an R (correlation coefficient) of 0.9952, a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.4935 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.2091 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, and a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 7.3782%. Correspondingly, the accurate prediction of surface PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations is beneficial for air pollution control and urban planning. |
