LIGHT POLLUTION
Effects of Light Pollution
Light pollution leads to adverse health effects:
If humans are exposed to light while sleeping,
melatonin production can be suppressed. This
can lead to sleep disorders and other health
problems such as increased headaches, worker
fatigue, medically defined stress, some forms of
obesity due to lack of sleep and increased
anxiety. And ties are being found to a couple of
types of cancer. There are also effects of glare
on aging eyes.
