Abstract
Air pollution is a consequence of both
natural sources and human activities in the environment,
which have a negative impact on the atmosphere. Air
pollution is a serious environmental problem and poses a
serious threat to the health of people in Macedonia. The
purpose of the study is to investigate the society’s
awareness of air pollution in Macedonia, compared with
the findings from previous research. This study’s
objective is to explore whether there is a correlation
between tweets related to air pollution, teasers related to
air pollution, and measured values of PM10 particles and
if there is a difference in society’s awareness of air
pollution compared to last year’s situation. To analyze
our assumptions, we used the Natural Language
Processing techniques: sentiment analysis and topic
modeling, along with statistical analysis, fisher’s z-test
and correlation analysis. The obtained results show us
what feelings people express towards air pollution, what
topics they talk about and help us determine if society's
awareness has increased since last year.
