    Fine particulate matter (𝑃𝑀2.5pollution poses a significant environmental and public health challenge, requiring accurate predictive models for its monitoring and control. This study compares different machine learning approaches, including Linear Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost, with and without the inclusion of mobility variables, to estimate 𝑃𝑀2.5 levels. Additionally, inductive conformal prediction is implemented to quantify uncertainty in the estimates and provide confidence intervals with 𝛼=0.05. The results show that while XGBoost experiences performance deterioration during training when mobility variables are included, it achieves the best validation performance with the lowest mean absolute error and the highest coefficient of determination. Conformal prediction enabled the establishment of confidence intervals with 89.26% coverage, close to the expected 95%, ensuring model reliability across different spatial and temporal scenarios. In conclusion, the use of machine learning models combined with advanced validation and calibration techniques, such as conformal prediction, enhances the accuracy and reliability of 𝑃𝑀2.5 estimation. However, the quality of input variables, particularly mobility-related data, remains a challenge, highlighting the need to incorporate meteorological information and improve data resolution. These findings contribute to the development of more reliable predictive tools for environmental management and air quality policy decision-making.
