Additional applications extend well beyond methane detection. The system can be adapted to monitor air quality in urban areas, water quality in rivers and lakes, and identify deforestation hotspots. By integrating a more horizontal protocol approach to standardized data formats and interoperability, the system can seamlessly integrate data streams from various monitoring applications for a wide range of use cases. This vision allows for a more complete understanding of the interdependence of environmental systems and challenges, thereby enabling the development of integrated and effective environmental policies. It provides policymakers, researchers and the public with unprecedented access to reliable, real-time environmental data, enabling more informed decision-making, accelerating our response to climate change and paving the way for a more sustainable and equitable future. .
