Artificial outdoor light at night and depression in older adults in the USA, England, Northern Ireland, and Ireland [PDF]

Environment International
Background: Artificial Light at night (ALAN) is a potential environmental stressor for depression, but epidemiological evidence is limited. Cross-national surveys of aging were leveraged to examine LAN and depression.

Effect of gestational exposure to dim light at night on the behavior of rat dams and offspring [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Recently, dim light at night (dLAN) has become nearly ubiquitous. Whereas nighttime light exposure is associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes, little is known about the effects of low-intensity light exposure at night during ...

Snowglow—The Amplification of Skyglow by Snow and Clouds Can Exceed Full Moon Illuminance in Suburban Areas

Journal of Imaging, 2019
Artificial skyglow, the fraction of artificial light at night that is emitted upwards from Earth and subsequently scattered back within the atmosphere, depends on atmospheric conditions but also on the ground albedo.
