Abstract
This paper presents two research directions, both of them centered on the new available communication technologies that support Smart Cities concept applied into the crowded urban areas that aim to solve the issues of human health, especially for children. The automated monitoring of some of the main environmental parameters as well as data acquiring and analysis are planned to be done for a certain period of time in the schools’ proximity in Petrosani, part of the Jiu Valley area, one of the Romanian most crowded coal mining basin not long time ago. Both the monitoring system, data acquisition and the related hardware, software and communication support as well as the noise control mapping near some major high schools in our community, are presented in the paper.
