TL;DR: It is suggested that low levels of light at night disrupt the timing of food intake and other metabolic signals, leading to excess weight gain in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limiting the impact of light pollution on human health, environment and stellar visibility
TL;DR: The amount of pollution is strongly dependent on the spectral characteristics of the lamps, with the more environmentally friendly lamps being low pressure sodium, followed by high pressure sodium and most polluting are the lamps with a strong blue emission, like Metal Halide and white LEDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light at Night Co‐distributes with Incident Breast but not Lung Cancer in the Female Population of Israel
TL;DR: The results provide coherence of the previously reported case‐control and cohort studies with the co‐distribution of LAN and breast cancer on a population basis and yield an estimated 73% higher breast cancer incidence in the highest LAN exposed communities compared to the lowest LAN exposure communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Co‐Distribution of Light at Night (LAN) and Cancers of Prostate, Colon, and Lung in Men
TL;DR: A significant positive association between population exposure to LAN and incidence rates of prostate cancer is found, but there is no such association with lung cancer or colon cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nighttime light level co-distributes with breast cancer incidence worldwide
TL;DR: A significant positive association between population LAN level and incidence rates of breast cancer is found and provides coherence of the previously reported case–control and cohort studies with the co-distribution of LAN and breast cancer in entire populations.
