When natural light decreases due to artificial light then such a situation is known as light pollution. For example, due to the increased use of LED light at the present time, there is considerable decrease in night darkness. This decrease in night darkness is seriously affecting human health.
Recently, a German magazine Science Advance has mentioned in a research that night darkness is continuously decreasing year by year. Due to this, the biological processes that occur in the night's natural blackout are being affected. As a result, human health, the health and ecosystems of animals and animals are having adverse effects.
According to the research of the magazine Science Advance, continuous increase in light pollution is being reported in 80 countries around the world. The situation of light pollution in South America, developing countries of Asia and Africa is serious. The highest light pollution in Asia is in Hong Kong.
Effects of light pollution on human health:
Light pollution is seriously affecting human health. This is causing the problem of sleeping.
It is notable that naturally occurring hormone called melatonin is affected by light pollution. A hormone called melatonin regulates sleep and jogan.
Similarly, light pollution is also considered responsible for diseases like diabetes, depression and cancer.
Most of the people are being deprived of natural light due to light pollution, which has a negative effect on its biological function.
Effects of light pollution on the health of organisms:
Light pollution is the most harmful for those organisms that are active at night. For example, bits like bats, raccoons and deer are activated only in the night and are looking for food.
Light pollution can also inhibit the reproduction process of certain animals, because the female sea turtle gives the egg in the darkness of the night.
Due to light pollution, the food chain of antioxidants will also have an adverse effect, because those who come out for food in the night, they will not come out due to light. Due to the impact of the food chain, biodiversity will also have negative effects.
Conclusion: -
It can be concluded that light pollution is continuously increasing which reduces natural light. Light pollution is affecting the health of human beings as well as the health of organisms.
