<![CDATA[The increasing level of urban air pollution requires monitoring system that are capable not only of measurement but also real time prediction. Low coast gas sensor such as MQ-135 are widely used due to their affordability and ease of integration. However, these sensors exhibit limitations in terms of accuracy, signal stability, and drift characteristics. This research proposes a real time air quality prediction model based on gas sensor data using a machine learning approach integrated with metrological calibration. The system consists of a microcontroller base data acquisition module, aserver for data storage, and a predictive model deployed for real time computation. Data were collected over a controlled observation period with fixed sampling intervals. Preprocessing steps included regression based calibration, min max normalization, and noise reduction using a movig avarage filter. Three algorithms were evaluated Linear Regression, Random Forest, and Long Short-Term Memory. Model performance was assessed using Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, and coefficient of determination. The results indicate that the Random Forest model achieved the lowest RMSE and demonstrated stable prediction performance under sensor signal fluctuations. The integration of calibration prior to model training significantly improved prediction accuracy compared to models without metrological correction. The proposed system provides reliable real-time air quality prediction and can support intelligent environmental monitoring and local decision-making processes. REFERENCES Alahi, M. E.
