Abstract

In a constantly evolving world, where the rising population and increased social awareness have led to a higher concern for the environment, research in this field (most notably in Environmental Analytical Chemistry) should take advantage of the great opportunities offered by new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud-based services. Both of them are especially suitable when chemical sensors and related devices are used in the continuous in-line monitoring of environmental parameters. In this sense, it is very important to obtain spatially distributed information of these parameters as well as their temporal evolution. In this work, a friendly approach to IoT world for environmental applications is carried out. To get a global vision of these concepts, the starting point is their historical evolution. New trends are also identified along with associated challenges and potential threats. Furthermore, not only there will be (in the near future) a need to rely on distributed analytical sensors but also on even more complex, lab-based techniques that are connected to the IoT through appropriate mechanisms. A revision of the recent literature relating IoT with environmental issues has also been performed, the most relevant contributions being discussed. Finally, the need of a mutual cooperation between IoT and Environmental Analytical Chemistry is outlined and commented in detail. Ignoring the new capabilities offered by Cloud computing and IoT environments is no further an option. In this sense, the main contribution of this paper consists of highlighting the fact that the wiser course is to embrace these opportunities consciously for mutual profit. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-20:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 48 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 3 - Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, ODS 6 - Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, with a probability of 0% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
