There is a pressing need for simple and cost effective means to monitor environments for pollutants, explosives and chemical agents.
Therefore, the proposed smart-sensor module can be a battery-free sensor device for monitoring environment parameters in indoor condition.
Rigorous computational results are strongly evident that the proposed PCF acquires the highest relative sensitivity of about 62.24% at the controlling wavelength λ = 1.40 μm which will be applicable for monitoring environment in aspects of harmful and toxic chemical sensing.
The industrial field uses them for monitoring environment (temperature, pressure, hygrometry, luminosity, etc)., while they are used in the environmental field for UV, radioactivity, pollutants, heavy metals, ozone, greenhouse gas, fire surveillance, and high-precision agriculture.
We have developed and tested a fully autonomous pathogen detection system (APDS) capable of continuously monitoring the environment for airborne biological threat agents.
Reliable gas sensors operating at room temperature are in demand for monitoring the environment for hazardous pollutants, such as ammonia (NH3) gas that may become toxic to humans and animals above a threshold concentration.
Integrated environmental modelling is gaining momentum for addressing grand scientific challenges such as monitoring the environment for change detection and forecasting environmental conditions along with the consequences for society.
While it is well-established that monitoring the environment for the occurrence of relevant events represents a key executive function, it is still unclear whether such a function is mediated by domain-general or domain-specific mechanisms.
Over the past decade, Sweden has begun monitoring the environment for approved pharmaceuticals and instituted a national classification system that ranks drugs based on their possible toxic effects and potential to build up, or bioaccumulate, in the tissues of organisms.
Increasing our understanding of these mechanisms opens up the possibility of designing and engineering individual cells and multicellular structures that can produce valuable products such as biofuels or therapeutic drugs, or fulfill important functions such as monitoring the environment for toxic contaminants.
