1 Μαΐ 2023 · However, there exists a huge knowledge gap on how light pollution affects detailed processes of circadian photoentrainment, patterning of molecular clocks, and melatonin homeostasis. This review aims to focus on the research advances in the health impacts of light pollution in the recent five years.
30 Οκτ 2023 · Given the importance of optics to understand light regimes and impacts, we begin with a brief characterization of light impinging on water surfaces and propagating under water before addressing the nature, extent and ecological consequences of light pollution.
22 Μαρ 2023 · Light pollution is excessive or misdirected artificial light that can have adverse effects on humans, wildlife, and the natural world. It is caused by various sources, such as streetlights, buildings, and illuminated signs.
Light pollution is the human-made alteration of outdoor light levels from those occurring naturally. When we over-light, fail to use timers and sensors, or use the wrong color of light, we can negatively affect many parts of our world, including migratory birds, pollinators, sea turtles, and mammals, including humans.
