Consideration is given to the effect of local environemnt on the gas and dust content of S0 galaxies relative to other spiral systems in the Local Supercluster. The optical properties, H I content, and FIR continuum properties of a complete sample of Local Supercluster S0 galaxies are analyzed. The characteristics of S0 galaxies are compared with those of Sa and Sc galaxies. It is concluded that, like other spiral galaxies, S0's undergo continuing gas removal when they pass through high-density regions. 89 refs.
