The important role of technology in environment and human health are as follows:

Role of Technology in environment:

• Remote sensing and geograhic information system provides data and knowledge concerning the global environment as it is used for mapping and monitoring various natural resources.
• Ministry of environment and Forest & Govt. of India have created environment information system. Different centers are setup in different organizations for information collection, storage which work towards boosting the relationship between environment.
• Technology is used for computer based modeling and simulation of environmental scenarios for analysis and prediction.
• It enables environmental scientists and researchersaround the world to communicate, collaborate and coordinate.

Role of Technology in Human health:

• It can be used for audio, visual and data communication for medical consultation, diagnosis, treatment, nursing and medical education.
• It can be used for tesing of DNA, creating DNA database and genetic information about population. Medical records and finger prints whcih are used for investing agencies to identify missing persons and criminals.
• It helps in spreading awareness about epidemic and communicable diseases. With the help of remote sensing and Geographic information system GIS there is identification of several infested areas which are prone to some disease like malaria, dengue and so on based upon mapping of such areas. A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of spatial or geographical data.
