A study has been achieved by Jean-Michel Poggi, Michel Misiti, Yves Misiti and Bruno Portier (INSA de Rouen), in the context of a collaboration between AirNormand, Orsay University and INSA of Rouen. Mixtures of linear regression models are used for the short-term statistical forecasting of the daily mean PM10 concentration in three cities in Haute-Normandie (France): Rouen, Le Havre and Dieppe. The Haute-Normandie region is located at northwest of Paris, near the south side of Manche sea and is heavily industrialized. Six monitoring stations reflecting the diversity of situations: urban background, traffic, rural and industrial stations are considered. This recent statistical method has been used and beyond the application, this study shed light on this method [35] .
