Application of Remote Sensing Technology to Environmental Pollution Monitoring

Remote sensing technology is an effective way to continually, rapidly and dynamically monitor the large-scale environmental pollution since the technology possess the advantages of low-cost, regional and global, long-term monitoring, and of real-time or timely prediction. This paper summarizes the achievements of visible, reflected and thermal infrared, hyper-spectral and microwave remote sensing technology applied to environmental pollution monitoring. The applications of remote sensing technology to water and atmosphere environment pollution monitoring are illustrated, including water turbidity analysis, oil pollution, urban sewage, water-body thermal pollution and eutrophication. Finally, it is pointed out that the remote sensing technology of environment pollution monitoring exists much deficiency in China. And some suggestions on developing the technology are given as follows: (1) Utilizing remote sensing technology, it is necessitated to construct large-scale real-time monitoring and predicting system of environment pollution accidents. (2) Developing new remote sensing sensors and improving their performances in pollution monitoring. (3) Developing quantitative remote sensing monitoring technology for environment pollutants. (4) Integrating environment pollution remote sensing monitoring technology, geographic information system, global positioning system, and expert system, combined with ground- environment pollution monitoring technology, constructing Chinese environment pollution monitoring integrated system.
