Environmental sensors are an effective way of dealing with and monitoring various weather conditions. The use of these sensors includes air monitoring systems (to monitor gases, air quality, odorful, pollution levels, etc.). In addition, these sensors prove to be useful in the surveillance of and monitoring of temperature levels, flood situations, air velocity, pressure, rainfall, snowfall, etc.

Environmental sensors gather real-time data and report to the data processing center, where the concerned officials can analyze the data and make decisions or issue alerts, based on the data received and the analysis done.
