What is Sensor and IoT

Handbook of Research on Interdisciplinary Studies on Healthcare, Culture, and the Environment
The internet of things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Sensors are devices that detect and respond to changes in an environment. Inputs can come from a variety of sources such as light, temperature, motion and pressure. Sensors output valuable information and if they are connected to a network, they can share data with other connected devices and management systems. They are an integral part of the Internet of Things (IoT).There are many types of IoT sensors and an even greater number of applications and use cases.

Abstract
The use of electronic items like computers, laptops, tablets, television, LED lights, mobile phones, microwaves, etc. are mandatory necessity of lifestyle today. Electro-magnetic radiation is emitted from the electronic devices and are very harmful to human beings its excessive use leads to growth of cancer cells. Therefore, we need to find a way out to prevent ourselves from the harmful effect EMR level at workplace and homes. It is time to adopt modern way from traditional techniques and forward a model that involves the community, with a stakeholder-focused approach. Ancient Indian scriptures have described Yagya to absorb the harmful effect of cosmic waves. Hence, in the present study, the authors have done test to find the impact of Yagya on effect of radiation on human beings emitted from electronic devices. Results of the experiment showed significant decrease in EMR with Yagya, indicating Yagya can be one of the useful solutions as non-conventional method for reducing indoor EMR level.
