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.

Using all-sky differential photometry to investigate how nocturnal clouds darken the night sky in rural areas

, 2019
Artificial light at night has affected most of the natural nocturnal landscapes worldwide and the subsequent light pollution has diverse effects on flora, fauna and human well-being. To evaluate the environmental impacts of light pollution, it is crucial

Transient anhedonia phenotype and altered circadian timing of behaviour during night-time dim light exposure in Per3(-/-) mice, but not wildtype mice. [PDF]

, 2017
Industrialisation greatly increased human night-time exposure to artificial light, which in animal models is a known cause of depressive phenotypes.

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.

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]

, 2018
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

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.

The effect of cave illumination on bats [PDF]

, 2020
Artificial light at night has large impacts on nocturnal wildlife such as bats, yet its effect varies with wavelength of light, context, and across species involved.

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.

Ground-based hyperspectral analysis of the urban nightscape [PDF]

, 2017
Airborne hyperspectral cameras provide the basic information to estimate the energy wasted skywards by outdoor lighting systems, as well as to locate and identify their sources.
