Networks of sensors monitoring the environment

Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of Warsaw University of Technology, Nowowiejska 15/19
prof. Andrzej Filipkowski

The environment on the Earth is becoming more and more polluted as a result of the activity of the human. The greatest authorities on all continents are trying to prevent its degradation. The basis of effective prevention of contamination is monitoring – of water, soil, air, noise and electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation. These purposes are served by specialist sensors, connected in an IT network with appropriate software. Measuring probes are placed on the ground, on planes and on satellites. The realization of this task is an interdisciplinary issue.
