In this work, Recurrence Plots (RPs) investigates the changes in the non-linear behaviour of urban air pollution using large datasets of raw data (hourly). This analysis has not been used before to extract information from large datasets for this type non-linear problem. Two different approaches have been used to tackle this problem. The first approach is to show results according to monitoring network. The second approach is to show the results by particle type. This analysis shows the feasibility of using Recurrence Analysis for pollution monitoring and control.

Most major pollutants can alter pulmonary function The states in nature typically change in time. The impor- tance in the investigation of these changes in complex systems helps to understand and describe such changes. A relatively new method based on non-linear data ana- lysis has become popular to describe the changes of these systems. This method is called recurrence plot [1, 2]. In this contribution, the
