1. A method for determining the level of contamination in covered zones, comprising:
providing a server;
receiving a request to enroll a wireless sensor network (WSN) for measuring a level of contamination as a response to an initial transmission of information from a user reporting contamination issues via a first mobile electronic device;
attempting to transmit the information to a second mobile electronic device until the first mobile device or the second mobile electronic device obtains a connection to the server, generating a delay-tolerant network (DTN);
obtaining measured data tagged with a geo-reference tag and a time stamp
processing the measured data and the information from the user by using big data and machine learning algorithms; and
providing reports on contamination levels.
