The Role of Sensor in Environmental Monitoring

Abstract

Environmental pollution has become the major problem for us in recent times. Harmful gases are discharged by industries and many others cause pollution. Hence, there is a need to monitor and control these harmful contaminants, especially in air and water. So the sensors in environmental monitoring, highlighting their diverse applications, such as measuring air quality, water quality, soil conditions, and more. Sensor devices also offer high sensitivity, and fast response as per the user requirements. The role of sensors in environmental monitoring is enabling data collection and give information for decision-making. These devices detect physical, chemical, and biological parameters, such as temperature, humidity, pollutants, and biodiversity. They provide  accurate, real time data. Sensor also give early warning systems for natural disasters and pollution incidents.As technology advances, sensor networks enhance our ability to monitor and safeguard the earth supporting global efforts to protect ecosystems and human well-being.
