Smart Sensors Embedded Systems for Environmental Monitoring System Integration

Abstract

Currently, in our modern world, environmental monitoring is a necessity for us to act to prevent the destruction of the highly unpredictable ecosystems to humans. As we try to understand and tame pollution, climate change and resource depletion, smart sensors embedded in embedded systems have become a viable tool for collection, analysis and interpretation of marine environmental data. This paper studies the interaction between sensors, environmental monitoring application with sensors and embedded systems, and inherent challenges and potential opportunities that come with the interaction.We have the capability of gathering real time data about our surroundings by combining of sensor technology and embedded systems. They make possible such valuable insights from air quality measurements and water pollution detection to inform policy makers' decision making, and to help shape environmental policies. We will go in depth of this topic to discuss the components which consist of these systems, the type of sensors in use and the embedded system process and interpretation of the collected data.This article will analyse how the integration of these technologies could be applied to sensor embedded systems and how their technical aspects could be resolved, with real world examples and how they can help with current environmental issues. An understanding of what these systems can, or cannot, do can give us an understanding of their potential and how we can leverage the power that they are able to provide to build more environmentally aware societies.
