Environment monitoring and sensing refers to long-term measurement and observation of the air, aquatic, and soil sources. It involves taking multiple samples and measurements for assessing the characteristics of different substances. For instance, the physical, chemical, and biological components of water determine if it is safe for consumption or use in a particular application.An environmental sensing and monitoring system consists of satellites, portable ground and remote sensors, and measurement and model data. Environmental

sensing and monitoring technologies are used in forest fire detection, air pollution monitoring, greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring, and landslide detection. The demand for environmental sensing and monitoring devices has increased in a wide variety of applications over the last decade.

Water quality monitoring refers to long-term measurement and observation of the aquatic environment. It involves taking multiple samples and measurements for assessing the characteristics of water. The physical, chemical, and biological components of water determine if it is safe for consumption or use in a particular application.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global water quality monitoring equipment market for 2017-2021.

Water is a key element in the processing of ore that is extracted from the mines.Most mining facilities in the world are located in regions with low natural water body sources. These facilities face water-related issues at almost every stage of the mining process. Therefore, the emphasis is on refining and reusing available water,which results in greater opportunities for the global water and wastewater market in the mining industry.

Thermal treatment air filtration is a method wherein heat is used to filter industrial air streams to prevent hazardous pollutants from being emitted into the atmosphere. In this technique, exhaust air is thermally heated to very high temperatures in an oxidizer chamber, which breaks down the chemical bonds of the pollutant compounds. The compounds then combine with the oxygen in the chamber to form carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). This method is suitable for removing hazardous air pollutants, VOCs, and other toxic chemicals from industrial air streams. With thermal treatment air filtration, end-users can achieve a purity level of up to 99.5%.

The global swimming pool market is likely to experience growth during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing construction of a large number of residential structures and hotels globally. The growth of the market will be primarily driven by urbanization. In 2016, more than half of the global population resided in urban areas, and this is likely to increase by 2021. The growing urbanization will result in the need for a better lifestyle and increase in infrastructure construction. The hectic lifestyles of people will result in a high preference for all amenities within the same infrastructure. This will likely drive the growth of the swimming pool market as swimming pools are becoming one of the most important lifestyle amenities.However, the high installation and maintenance costs of swimming pools remain a challenge in the market. Moreover, the cost of water is increasing because of the growing scarcity of water. This adds to the overall cost of swimming pools, which is a barrier to the revenue growth of the market.

Fog computing is implemented in the IoT ecosystem to manage the data center workload. Edge devices collect, analyze, and transmit data collected from smart devices to the cloud data centers. Fog computing technology minimizes the complexities and network traffic in the IoT-enabled ICT ecosystems.The integration of IoT and cloud computing applications enhances the services offered by multiple stakeholders. This helps the technology vendors and the service providers to support many end-users in a reliable and decentralized manner, which in turn,facilitates the creation of smart environments such as smart transportation, cities, and manufacturing units. Service providers can offer these services through cloud-based infrastructure, platforms, or software. The IoT gained popularity among the end-users as cloud-based solutions provide scalable and secure storage space and better business management capabilities.

High-purity water refers to water that is treated with the highest level of purity for all the contaminant types such as dissolved and particulate matter; organic and inorganic compounds; volatile and non-volatile; hydrophilic and hydrophobic; and reactive, inert and dissolved gases. High-purity water and deionized treatment are not similar, as the former involves removal of organic particles and dissolved gases.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global advanced CO₂ sensors market for the period 2016-2021. To calculate the market size, the report covers the sales of advanced CO₂ sensors, including nondispersive infrared (NDIR) and chemical advanced CO₂ sensors, worldwide. However, the report does not consider the following to estimate the market size: advanced occupancy

sensors, advanced thermostats, advanced photo sensors, components used for the production of advanced CO₂ sensors, service and maintenance of advanced CO₂ sensors, and aftermarket sales of advanced CO₂ sensors.

The FM services market in North America has entered a high maturity phase due to increased awareness among end-users in the region. The market will continue to grow at a stable rate during the forecast period due to high maturity of end-users.End-users in North America prefer outsourcing of facility related services as it reduces the risk and responsibility associated with the in-house operation. High infrastructure development in the region has led to an increased demand for specialized vendors that possess the skill to operate both technical as well as non-technical functions within a facility.
