What Technologies are Used in Environmental Monitoring?
Advancements in technology have significantly enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of environmental monitoring. Key technologies include:
- Remote Sensing: This method uses satellite or aerial imagery to monitor large areas for changes in environmental conditions, such as deforestation or water pollution.
- Biosensors: Devices that use biological materials to detect the presence of chemicals, offering real-time monitoring and high sensitivity.
- Drones: Unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with sensors can access remote or hazardous areas to collect environmental data.
- Internet of Things (IoT): IoT devices can provide continuous monitoring of environmental parameters and send data in real-time to centralized systems for analysis.
