Environmental monitoring technology is an important foundation for supporting and ensuring environmental management. Analyzing and predicting the development trend of disruptive technologies in environmental monitoring is helpful to accelerate China's ecological civilization construction and environmental protection. This paper combines literature measurement and patent intelligence analysis methods to comprehensively analyze and evaluate the history and latest situation of disruptive technologies in environmental monitoring in China and abroad. According to the major demand for environmental monitoring technology by China's environment protection development, this paper puts forward the multi-media environment and ecosystem sensing technology based on big data fusion, micro-intelligent environmental element sensing technology based on new materials and devices, fast online monitoring technology for environmental trace pollutants based on spectral mass spectrometry, and high-resolution remote sensing technology based on satellite remote sensing for regional/global ecological environment elements, so as to provide a decision-making basis for China's environmental management and development planning of its environmental protection industry.
