1. A wearable environmental monitoring system comprising:
an article of apparel including at least a first sensor, the article of apparel being one of a garment and footwear that is configured to be worn by a user;
a system controller associated with the article of apparel, the system controller comprising a processor and non-transitory machine-readable media including instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive, from the user, a selection of a first operation mode that comprises a pre-configured profile which affects the type of alert that will be presented to the user;
receive, during a first time period, first data about one or more conditions of a physical environment in a sensor range of the article of apparel from the first sensor;
determine, based on the first data and the selected first operation mode, that a first unsafe condition is present at a first location in the physical environment;
select a first alert type based on the first operation mode; and
cause, in response to the determination that the unsafe condition is present at the first location, a first alert of the first alert type to be generated by a first feedback component of the article of apparel.
