What is environmental monitoring? Common equipment for environmental monitoring

The quality of the environment is related to everyone's health, so it is of great significance to carry out environmental monitoring in every city and village in China. Nowadays, various monitoring stations have been set up in wetlands, forests, grasslands, oceans, rivers or cities where humans gather. What is environmental monitoring? Generally speaking, in order to protect the environment, it is necessary to understand every parameter in the environment, so as to understand the pollution status through scientific data analysis, and provide reliable data for environmental protection.

What is environmental monitoring?

Generally, it refers to scientific monitoring activities of related environmental factors such as atmosphere, soil, water quality, etc., so as to determine the degree of pollution and environmental quality in the regional environment. Through environmental monitoring, we can understand physical indicators, chemical indicators and ecosystem conditions, and provide scientific and comprehensive data support for environmental protection. So, what are the commonly used equipment?

1. Environmental monitoring station

This is a device specially used for regional monitoring. It is usually composed of data collectors, sensors, software, and energy supply systems. It can monitor soil, water quality, air and other environmental parameters in real time. Usually, the construction of an environmental quality monitoring network requires the construction of a sufficient number of monitoring stations according to different types of environments.

2. Environmental sensors

Whether it is monitoring water quality or soil and atmosphere, environmental sensors are required. The monitoring sensors used for different environmental factors are different. Commonly used sensors include air temperature sensors, air humidity sensors, air pressure sensors, noise sensors, sunshine hours sensors, ultraviolet radiation sensors, and the like.

3. System

A device can only monitor a small area. If you want to monitor the environment of an entire city or province, you need to build a complete network. Through the system, real-time data observation and analysis can be carried out for monitoring stations in each area, and the current environmental change trend can be analyzed in combination with historical data, providing multiple guarantees for environmental protection.
