This scoping review is focused on wearable devices for environmental monitoring. First, the main pollutants are presented, followed by sensing technologies that are used for the parameters of interest. Selected examples of wearables and portables are divided into commercially available and research-level projects. While many commercial products are in fact portable, there is an increasing interest in using a completely wearable technology. This allows us to correlate the pollution level to other personal information (performed activity, position, and respiratory parameters) and thus to estimate personal exposure to given pollutants. The fact that there are no univocal indices to estimate outdoor or indoor air quality is also an open problem. Finally, applications of wearables for environmental monitoring are discussed. Combining environmental monitoring with other devices would permit better choices of where to perform sports activities, especially in highly polluted areas, and provide detailed information on the living conditions of individuals.
本范围综述侧重于用于环境监测的可穿戴设备。首先，介绍了主要污染物，然后介绍了用于感兴趣参数的传感技术。可穿戴设备和便携式设备的选定示例分为市售产品和研究级项目。虽然许多商业产品实际上是便携式的，但人们越来越有兴趣使用完全可穿戴的技术。这使我们能够将污染水平与其他个人信息（执行的活动、位置和呼吸参数）相关联，从而估计个人对给定污染物的暴露程度。事实上，没有统一的指数来估计室外或室内空气质量也是一个未解决的问题。最后，讨论了可穿戴设备在环境监测中的应用。将环境监测与其他设备相结合，可以更好地选择进行体育活动的地点，特别是在污染严重的地区，并提供有关个人生活条件的详细信息。
