Environment sensors are silicon sensors, small and embedded communication technologies, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wearables. They increase the volume and precision of environmental data, such as air quality, barometric pressure, carbon monoxide, capacitance, color, gas leaks, humidity, hydrogen sulfide, temperature, light, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ability to realize intelligent RFID tags. There are sensors that support a broad range of emerging high-performance applications, such as navigation, barometric air pressure, humidity and ambient air temperature sensing functions. Some of these sensors are designed for wearable technologies. Workers can be monitored while doing their normal work and at the same time having the ability to see highly localized, real-time data on things like temperature. Other wearable-sensors that can be used in wearable devices are gyroscope, light sensors, noise sensors, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, gas

Wearable devices have the potential to protect workers in hazardous conditions:

J. Lee et al. [16] focus on the value of sustainability in human-oriented wearables and services that seek to improve the quality of life, which involves social impact and public interest. Wearables refer to the technology and its applications with a value of sustainability having a positive impact on the improvement of quality of life, social impact and the public interest. We aim to discuss how continuously evolving wearables influence positively on human life and environment through the

A variety of wearable devices have been launched in the market to achieve various purposes with the development of sensing technologies. One typical example is an application that constantly measures movement distance and movement conditions of users over time through motion sensors that include in wrist-wearable devices and display the measured results. Moreover, measuring the intake and consumption of calories, tracking sleep, postural correction, blood pressure, and heart rate are the most fundamental applications of the current wearables field. As such, wearable applications started by quantifying various human activities (consciously or unconsciously) numerically in daily life. Over the past few years, more wearable devices have been introduced according to their purpose with increasing performance. As a result, the demand for them to quantify individual daily lives by themselves has increased. Along with this demand, more studies of the methods to improve the quality of life by analyzing individual conditions have been conducted for application in real life, which is called the quantified self. Targets whose movements are tracked include various types of personal information, such as physical

Wrist-worn wearables enable monitoring, detecting and recording interpersonal social interaction features [17]. The wrist has embedded motion sensors, accelerometers, heart rate monitors, optical sensors, skin conductivity, skin temperature and other physiological sensors. Increased synchrony of physiological measures has

According to Afzal et al. [18], water is a vital component in plants. They measured leaf moisture using special sensors. Results showed that variations curve of the capacitance was in the form of an exponential function, y = ae bx, where y is capacitance, x is leaf moisture content, a is the linear coefficient and b is the exponential coefficient. A new adhesive sensor, sensitive to water vapor, measures leaf surface humidity and how much water is transpired by crop plants. It exhibits different levels of conductivity depending on the humidity and provides farmers with practical information on the real-time water absorption habits of their crops. The sensor is connected to a Wi-Fi device that transmits the data to the data analyzer, which then recommends the amount of water gallons to put in which parts of the field. The sensor is used for water management to accelerate the process of breeding drought tolerant for any crop.
