The opening section addresses the theoretical and conceptual background of microsensing networks. The coverage includes detailed description of microsensors, supported by design-specific equations, and clear explanation of the ways in which devices that harvest energy from ambient sources can detect and quantify pollution. The practical application of such systems in addressing environmental impacts within cities and in sustainable urban planning is then discussed with the aid of case studies in developing countries. The book will be of interest to all who wish to understand the benefits of microsensing networks in promoting sustainable cities through better delivery of information on health hazards and improved provision of data to environmental agencies and regulatory bodies in order to assist in monitoring, decision-making, and regulatory enforcement. 000753470 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 25, 2016). 000753470 650_0 $$aSensor networks. 000753470 650_0 $$aInternet of things. 000753470 650_0 $$aCity planning$$xEnvironmental aspects. 000753470 7001_ $$aSinha, S.$$q(Saurabh),$$d1981-$$eauthor. 000753470 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319283579 000753470 830_0 $$aSmart sensors, measurement and instrumentation ;$$vvolume 18. 000753470 852__ $$bebk 000753470 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-28358-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000753470 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:753470$$pGLOBAL_SET 000753470 980__ $$aEBOOK 000753470 980__ $$aBIB 000753470 982__ $$aEbook 000753470 983__ $$aOnline 000753470 994__ $$a92$$bISE
