Global environmental monitoring requirements arising from new environmental protection laws, as well as scientific data gathering, have really only just begun to affect the business of developing and manufacturing complex sensors and monitoring systems.
Environmental field monitoring technologies have rapidly advanced in the last decade, concurrent with advances in digital technology, computational power, and Internet-enabled communications. Environmental sensors have become much smaller, faster, and often cheaper.
Advances in air-sensing technologies, in particular, now enable rapid retrieval of time-critical pollution data on a large scale. Fast, low-cost sensors afford the possibility for networking of multiple units within a sensor grid network, so that even street-level monitoring can be achieved.
