Environmental Monitoring in Internet of Things (IOT)

Abstract

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) connects physical objects to the internet, enabling autonomous data collection and analysis. In environmental monitoring, IoT plays a crucial role in gathering real-time data on parameters like air and water quality, weather, wildlife behavior, and urban heat islands. This abstract explores how IoT is used in environmental monitoring, covering standards, device types, and applications. IoT comprises interconnected devices that collect environmental data and transmit it for analysis, facilitating continuous observation and better resource management. Standards like MQTT and communication technologies like Wi-Fi govern IoT implementation. Environmental monitoring involves assessing air and water quality, weather conditions, wildlife behavior, and urban heat islands. Air quality monitoring measures pollutant levels in the atmosphere using IoT-based sensor networks. Water quality monitoring assesses chemical and biological characteristics of water bodies. Weather and climate monitoring observe atmospheric conditions using IoT-based sensor networks. Wildlife monitoring tracks animal movements and behavior using IoT-enabled devices. Urban heat island monitoring assesses temperature distribution in urban areas using IoT-based sensors. IoT revolutionizes environmental monitoring by enabling real-time, remote observation across various domains, contributing to better resource management and sustainability efforts.
