“…Moreover, air quality indices, as well as the evaluation of the adverse impacts of pollutants on the health as a whole, largely depends on the concentrations of pollutants, which lie within arbitrary ranges. The assessment of air pollution has recently become an important issue due to its significance, and several new methodologies have been developed for the evaluation of air quality, such as artificial neural networks (Feng et al, 2013;Mishra and Goyal, 2016), Bayesian models (Yong et al, 2008), fuzzy logic (Liu et al, 2009;Sowlat et al, 2011;Yadav et al, 2014;Sen et al 2015;Xu et al, 2017), and fuzzy logic based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) (Upadhyay & Dashore, 2011;Akkaya et al, 2015). Based on the literature on the assessment of air quality mentioned above, fuzzy logic appears to have become A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T 16 increasingly popular because of its ability handle uncertainty and subjectivity using FIS.…”
