Association between outdoor artificial light at night and sleep duration among older adults in China: A cross-sectional study.

Environmental Research, 2022
BACKGROUND Light after dusk disrupts the circadian rhythms and shifts the timing of sleep later; but it is unknown whether outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) affects sleep quality.

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).

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.

Light, Sleep and Performance in Diurnal Birds

Clocks & Sleep, 2021
Sleep has a multitude of benefits and is generally considered necessary for optimal performance. Disruption of sleep by extended photoperiods, moonlight and artificial light could therefore impair performance in humans and non-human animals alike.

Outdoor artificial light at night and incident cardiovascular disease in adults: A national cohort study across China.

Science of the Total Environment
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) become a major public health concern. Evidence concerning the effects of outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) on CVD in adults is scarce. We aimed to investigate the extent to which outdoor ALAN could affect the risk of

Exposure to artificial light at night: A common link for obesity and cancer?

European Journal of Cancer, 2022
Exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) has been associated with disruption of the circadian system, which has been pointed out to have detrimental effects on health.

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.

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.
