For example , if production of a certain product has a large impact on the environment , eco-efficiency of that product is low . To improve our understanding of these " nanoparticles " and their impacts on human health and the environment , ORNL researchers led by ESD 's Mengdawn Cheng have developed special technologies . The information technology initiative , including high performance networking , is interrelated to the biocomplexity in the environment , nanotechnology , and workforce initiatives of the Foundation in at least two important ways . Biologists will be concerned with pollution of the environment , cause and cure of disease , population control , recurring food shortages , preservation of species and many other aspects resulting from the impact of technological changes on life forms . I 'm also familiar with research by Dr. Porter that tells us that such commonly-used pesticides such as aldicarb at exquisitely small levels , levels as small as what we are finding in drinking water now , when given in combination with other pollutants in the environment , cause similar endocrine disrupting effects on mice .
