"Internet of Things": An Emerging Real-Time Technology for Environmental Health Monitoring
Journal Title: Journal of Environmental Health and Sustainable Development - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
With the development of human society, environmental issue has become an important manifestation of civilization and life quality. Environmental monitoring has been always related to human understanding of the nature. There are some restrictions for human using traditional methods to monitor some environmental parameters in some inaccessible places, such as desert, mountain, and jungle and so on 1. United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA) has imposed strict regulations on the concentration of many environmental contaminants in air and water. However, current monitoring methods are expensive and time-consuming, and create some limitations in sampling and analysis 2. Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) provide new solutions for these issues 1. The WSN is low cost which is made up of thousands of smart sensor nodes which monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, pressure, moisture, humidity, light, or pollution in different locations 3
