Preface
Environmental issues are always on the policy making agenda and industries have to manage their environmental impact. Developing environmental sensing and monitoring technologies become essential especially for industries that may cause severe contamination to the eco-systems. According to industrial analysts, the market for environmental sensing and monitoring technologies is projected to reach US$17 billion by 2020. Currently there are three main approaches to improve environmental sensing: developing novel environmental sensors, designing more effective sensing algorithms to enhance detection performance and using multiple sensors to form environmental sensor networks. These three approaches are not exclusive but com
