Cross-sectional association between outdoor artificial light at night and sleep duration in middle-to-older aged adults: The NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study.
TL;DR: The burden of short sleep may be higher among residents in areas with higher levels of outdoor ALAN and this association is likely stronger in poorer neighborhoods, and the potential benefits of reducing light intensity in high ALAN areas are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Working with Inadequate Tools: Legislative Shortcomings in Protection against Ecological Effects of Artificial Light at Night
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an analysis of the current legal obligations on artificial light at night in context with a systematic review of adverse effects, and discuss the conditions for prohibitions by environmental laws and whether protection gaps persist and, hence, whether specific legislation for light pollution is necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
The reality of light pollution: A field survey for the determination of lighting environmental management zones in South Korea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the issue of light pollution based on field measurements conducted in Seoul, South Korea The measurements were undertaken to broaden the understanding and assessment of the light pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable Lighting Policies: The Contribution of Advertisement and Decorative Lighting to Local Light Pollution in Seoul, South Korea
Jack Ngarambe,Gon Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out field measurements to determine the contribution of advertisement and decorative lighting to local light pollution in Seoul and found that advertisement lighting is more likely to cause light pollution than the others.

High Sensitivity of the Human Circadian Melatonin Rhythm to Resetting by Short Wavelength Light
TL;DR: It is reported here that the circadian resetting response in humans, as measured by the pineal melatonin rhythm, is also wavelength dependent, and photopic lux, the standard unit of illuminance, is inappropriate when quantifying the photic drive required to reset the human circadian pacemaker.

Ecological consequences of artificial night lighting
Catherine Rich,Travis Longcore +1 more
TL;DR: This book will provide the first reference on the profound effects that night lights have on plants, animals, and whole ecosystems, isolated within taxonomic specialties, with no synthesis of overall effects of the loss of natural darkness on ecological communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lighting for the human circadian clock: recent research indicates that lighting has become a public health issue
TL;DR: These studies suggest that the proper use and color of indoor and outdoor lighting is important to the health of both humans and ecosystems and lighting fixtures should be designed to minimize interference with normal circadian rhythms in plants and animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-at-night, circadian disruption and breast cancer: assessment of existing evidence
TL;DR: If a consensus eventually emerges that LAN does increase risk, then the mechanisms for the effect are important to elucidate for intervention and mitigation and will provide for the development of lighting technologies at home and at work that minimize circadian disruption, while maintaining visual efficiency and aesthetics.
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.
