Abstract

We present preliminary results of our H I WSRT observations of early-type galaxies in the ATLAS(3D) sample. We discuss the dependence of H I properties on environment. We detect H I in about half of the galaxies outside the Virgo cluster. The H I morphology/kinematics changes as a function of environment, going from regular, rotating systems around "isolated" galaxies to progressively more disturbed structures for galaxies with neighbours or in groups. In denser environment, inside Virgo, nearly none of the galaxies contains H I.
