The paper presents academic projects results dedicated to applying new ICT technologies in the
developing of environmental monitoring systems. The idea of these projects is to use new and
inexpensive devices and technologies to build qualitatively new and innovative systems. Projects are
multidisciplinary, since they concern the different areas of computer science and environmental
protection.
The projects use a variety of techniques from different disciplines, such as: sensors and their
calibration, solar power systems, wireless data transfer systems, GPS, mobile applications, social
networks, server database systems, web applications, presentation of GIS data, prediction and others.
Environmental quality is a very important topic at the present days. In many cities, the environment
parameters indicate a threat to life and health of the citizens. This applies particularly fast changing
variables quality of air, noise, and water. The existing environmental monitoring systems are very
expensive and provide measurement data from the long delay. They are intended primarily to meet
the formal requirements, standards, and regulations.
New technologies enable the development of low-cost continuous monitoring and presenting of
environment state. The presented projects release this idea.
