The properties of certain strongly correlated Fermi systems and spin models can be studied by applying atom counting theory. In particular, the criticality of systems, that exhibit a quantum phase transition (QPT), is reflected in the moments of the counting distribution. For a class of one dimensional Fermi- and spin systems, we study the effects of temperature and noise due to a coupling to the environment. We establish limits to the noise under which the criticality can still be observed in the moments of the distribution.
