INTRODUCTION
Environmental Information Technology is the study and practice of technological applications, designed to deliver user-friendly information about the environment.
It includes Software creation, improvement of simulated environments for human interaction with the immediate environment.

SOFTWARE CREATION
A group of undergraduates at Harvard University created a software. The students developed a remote notebook, which is useful to marine biologists and others working in wet environments.

IMPROVED SIMULATED ENVIRONMENTS
• Weather forecasters work with simulated environments.• One way to improve simulated environments is by deepening the “AI”
component.

BAD EFFECTS OF IT IN THE ENVIRONMENT
• Refrigerators and freezers are necessities in day-to-day life and are difficult to dispose off properly.
• Cell phones, cars, home appliances have also become a necessity.

IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS
• Use of Geographical Information System(GIS).• Remote Sensing.• World Wide Web.• Human Health.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM(GIS)
• It is a technique of superimposing thematic maps.• Uses digital data.• Used on a large number of inter-related aspects.

REMOTE SENSING
• Ongoing changes in the environment can be assessed easily through Satellites.
• Occurrence of natural calamities can be predicted well in advance.

WORLD WIDE WEB
• A vast quantum of data is available.• It has proved to be useful for both students and teachers.

HUMAN HEALTH
• Helps doctors to monitor the health of the people.• Information can be sent more quickly to take corrective measures.
