By Johannes Lambrechts, Saurabh Sinha
This e-book explores the microsensing applied sciences and platforms now to be had to observe the standard of air and water in the city atmosphere and examines their position within the construction of sustainable towns opposed to the historical past of the demanding situations posed by way of fast urbanization. the outlet part addresses the theoretical and conceptual historical past of microsensing networks. The insurance contains certain description of microsensors, supported through design-specific equations, and transparent rationalization of the ways that units that harvest strength from ambient assets can discover and quantify pollutants. the sensible program of such platforms in addressing environmental affects inside of towns and in sustainable city making plans is then mentioned as a result of case experiences in constructing international locations. The e-book could be of curiosity to all who desire to comprehend the advantages of microsensing networks in selling sustainable towns via larger supply of knowledge on wellbeing and fitness risks and enhanced provision of knowledge to environmental corporations and regulatory our bodies with a view to help in tracking, decision-making, and regulatory enforcement.
