IoT, environmental monitoring, sensor technologies, air quality, pollution detection, real-time data, smart systemsAbstract
The increasing environmental challenges, such as pollution, climate change, and resource depletion, highlighted the need for efficient and real-time monitoring solutions. Traditional methods often lack accuracy, scalability, and automation. The advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor technologies has showed innovative approaches for tracking environmental parameters like air quality, water pollution, and temperature variations. These smart systems authorize continuous data collection, real-time analysis, and automated responses to environmental risks. This study explores the role of IoT in environmental monitoring, discussing its benefits, challenges, and future potential.
