Application of Disruptive Technologies on Environmental Health: An overview of artificial intelligence, blockchain and internet of things

Abstract

Environmental monitoring technology is a critical component in assisting and ensuring environmental management success. The development patterns of disruptive technologies for environmental monitoring should be studied and anticipated in order to aid in the promotion of India's environmental monitoring and protection. The primary objective is to examine previous research on disruptive technology and its current environmental applications, as well as to determine the degree of connection between the chosen variables, using the Vos Viewer Software, which is being used in this study. A discussion of the existing environmental impacts associated with artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as new advancements in these fields, is presented in this article. As a result of the research, the difficulties and possibilities presented by the stated technologies on the entire Indian environmental monitoring network have been highlighted that can be useful for researchers and government for future advancement in environmental health.
