传感技术的最新进展正在推动微型传感器的发展，这些传感器可用作独立设备、连接到智能手机甚至嵌入智能手机中。与官方监测网络相比，这些传感器和应用程序为更详细的环境监测创造了机会，并通过参与式数据收集和监测计划让公众参与环境监测。然而，根据所监视的环境的各个方面，技术复杂性可能会有很大的不同。适当的监测往往需要在开发和验证传感设备以及处理收集到的数据方面做出重大努力。本章涉及物理化学环境参数的低成本传感设备和智能手机应用程序，这些设备和应用程序可以由非专业人员使用，可能需要一些培训，因此为收集新数据和改善环境监测创造了新的机会。它从不同环境领域的新型传感设备和应用程序的示例开始，并详细概述了最近引起广泛关注的两个特定领域（空气质量和声音监测）的可能附加值、技术挑战和未来前景。
Recent advances in sensing technologies are leading to the development of miniaturised sensors that could be used as stand-alone devices, connected to smartphones or even embedded in smartphones. These sensors and apps create opportunities for more detailed environmental monitoring, as compared to official monitoring networks, and to involve the general public in environmental monitoring through participatory data collection and monitoring schemes. However, depending on the aspects of the environment that are monitored, technical complexity can differ quite a lot. Proper monitoring often requires important efforts in developing and validating sensing devices and in processing the collected data. This chapter deals with low-cost sensing devices and smartphone applications for physico-chemical environmental parameters, that can be used, possibly with some training, by non-specialised people, and as such create new opportunities for collection of novel data and improved monitoring of the environment. It starts with examples of novel sensing devices and apps for different environmental domains, and proceeds with a detailed overview of the possible added value, the technical challenges and future prospects in two specific domains that recently received a lot of interest, air quality and sound monitoring.
