Marine artificial light at night: An empirical and technical guide [PDF]

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Abstract The increasing illumination of our world by artificial light at night (ALAN) has created a new field of global change research with impacts now being demonstrated across taxa, biological ranks and spatial scales.

Artificial light at night and risk of depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine
Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been increasingly recognized as a potential environmental risk factor for mental health issues. However, no meta-analyses have been conducted to summarize the findings.

Artificial night light and thyroid cancer

World Journal of Methodology
BACKGROUND The occurrence of thyroid cancer (TC) has increased in recent decades. Exposure to outdoor artificial light at night (ALN) is associated with an increased risk of cancer. AIM To investigated the impact of ALN, as a significant environmental pollutant, on TC incidence worldwide.

Evidence That Reduced Air and Road Traffic Decreased Artificial Night-Time Skyglow during COVID-19 Lockdown in Berlin, Germany

Remote Sensing, 2020
Artificial skyglow, the brightening of the night sky by artificial light at night that is scattered back to Earth within the atmosphere, is detrimental to astronomical observations and has an impact on ecosystems as a form of light pollution.

Decade-Long Photometric Observations of Light Pollution and Cloud Effects on Night Sky Brightness in Hong Kong

Remote Sensing
This study examines how night sky brightness (NSB) in Hong Kong has evolved over the past decade. It combines recent datasets covering 2019–2023 with the earlier dataset analyzed in a previous study (2010–2013).

Introduction of artificial light at night increases the abundance of predators, scavengers, and parasites in arthropod communities

iScience, 2023
Summary: While recent studies explore the negative impacts of light pollution on arthropods, few studies investigated community-level responses to artificial light.

Switching LPS to LED Streetlight May Dramatically Reduce Activity and Foraging of Bats

Diversity, 2020
Artificial light at night is considered a major threat to biodiversity, especially for nocturnal species, as it reduces habitat availability, quality, and functionality.

Artificial light and nocturnal activity in gammarids [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Artificial light is gaining attention as a potential stressor to aquatic ecosystems. Artificial lights located near streams increase light levels experienced by stream invertebrates and we hypothesized light would depress night drift rates.

Bacterial Cellulose‐Based Bilayer Passive Cooler for High‐Performance Radiative/Evaporative Cooling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sustainable bilayer passive cooler based on bacterial cellulose integrates radiative and evaporative cooling for efficient zero‐energy temperature reduction. The scalable, low‐carbon material shows strong potential for food preservation, low‐temperature storage, and cold‐chain logistics.

Beyond All-Sky: Assessing Ecological Light Pollution Using Multi-Spectral Full-Sphere Fisheye Lens Imaging

Journal of Imaging, 2019
Artificial light at night is a novel anthropogenic stressor. The resulting ecological light pollution affects a wide breadth of biological systems on many spatio-temporal scales, from individual organisms to communities and ecosystems.
