Advancments in technologies can help solve many problems. Internet of Things (IoT), a recent technology, can be employed to tackle the problems with irrigation systems in Iraq that suffer from agricultural pests. Such pests are known as emergence of bushes and weeds, such as (Eichhornia and Ceratophyllum), that spread in waterways, stream and river back, estuaries, irrigation channels, gates, and systems.They basically impedethe flow of water and affect the fucntion of pumps, gates and sprinklers, and can evencause them to stop working. Agricultural pests, in addition, consume huge amounts of water that Iraq critically needs, especially in the years of drought and lack of rain.The present study shows the deisgn of a system, for monitoring and controlling the agricultural pests, that uses IoT Wi-Fi Photon board with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) which is supported with an early notification system.The reasons for the growth of these pests and their spread are discussed in this study. Moreover, there are two methods suggested to limit the emergence of the Ceratophyllum plant and detect of the Eichhornia from an early stage. The results showed that the proposed system is feasible.

This paper introduces different topics about Air pollution monitoring based on IoT (internet of things). It describes different methods used for monitoring and measuring Air pollution using different techniques. Some papers discussed Air pollution monitoring using (Arduino uno, Raspberry or ESP8266, PIC microcontroller). All would be presented to improve air monitoring efficiently and to clarify the tools used in each technique giving the differences between one technique and another. Reducing air pollution is necessary for the future, and cities around the world are using technology and smart city initiatives to take on the problem because it is considered as the major environmental risk factor for human health. Air pollution causes heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and acute lower respiratory disease. Therefore, it is important to reduce traffic and output from factories to decrease pollution
