    This document discusses light pollution and its causes, effects, and solutions. It is about a group project on light pollution done by Minh Châu, Minh Ngọc, Thu Minh, Như Tùng, and Nguyễn Hưng. It defines light pollution as excessive light that can harm health, obscure stars, and disturb ecosystems. Main causes are electricity use, 24-hour culture, population density, and brighter bulbs. Effects include disrupted sleep, impact on astronomy, energy waste, and disrupting ecosystems. Solutions proposed are changing street lamp bulbs, reducing other pollution, switching off unnecessary lights, and initiatives like Earth Hour.

    LIGHT POLLUTION
    Definition

    Effects
    DEFINITION
     Light pollution is the creation of excessive light,
    which is annoying. This can cause harmful effects on
    health, obscuring the light of stars, affecting
    astronomical observations, wasting energy and disturbing
    ecosystems.
    CAUSES
     Electricity
     24 hour culture

     Population density

     Brighter bulbs

     Street lighting
    ELECTRICITY
     People act carelessly and illuminate very bright
    lights at homes and business places – no matter
    what the hour.
    24 HOUR CULTURE
     The effect is cumulative: when one business stays open 24
    hours, other businesses often feel that they must follow
    suit in order to compete for profits.
    POPULATION DENSITY
     More and more people have moved to big cities over the
    last hundred years, and as a result their combined use of
    light has resulted in more and more light pollution.
    BRIGHTER BULBS & STREET LIGHTING
     Brighter bulbs: As bulbs get brighter, the amount of light
    pollution that they cause increases.
     Street lighting: When super bright street lights are used,
    they can substantially contribute to light pollution.
    EFFECTS
     Disrupted sleep patterns: When the lights are on all
    through the night, we may find it hard to sleep well or
    relax. Especially if we live with a street lamp burning
    outside our window.
     Impact on astronomy: Observational astronomy is
    near impossible when the sky is highly light polluted.
    Further, stargazing can become impossible and real
    darkness may never be experienced by some city dwellers.

    Observable Unobservable
     Energy waste: Several forms of over-
    illumination constitute energy wastage, including non-
    beneficial upward direction of night-time lighting.
     Skyglow: Skyglow is the name for the reddish-yellow
    glow in the sky that persists throughout the night due to
    light pollution in the city below.
     Disrupting ecosystems: Light pollution can interfere
    with the habits of living organisms: migratory birds may be
    disoriented by the light of skyscrapers and may get lost ,…

    SOLUTIONS
     Changing the bulbs in street lamps: Lowering the
    pressure in these bulbs results in less light, yet still perfectly
    fine for illuminating the streets. These less bulbs are also
    less disruptive to the species of animals living nearby.

    Before After
     Reducing air pollution: Reducing the amount of
    fumes, sprays and so on that we release into the air will
    thus help in our fight against light pollution.
     Switching lights off at night: Turn off unnecessary lights:
    both at home and in commercial premises. It sounds simple,
    but turning our lights off at bedtime, whether at home or in a
    business, is the easiest solution to the problem of light
    pollution!
     Dark hours: Initiatives such as ‘earth hour’, can
    significantly reduce the amount of light pollution in the
    atmosphere, they have the added benefit of saving electricity
    and energy – which also help to battle climate change.
    CONCLUSION
     Light pollution is a very real problem and is disruptive
    to both human and animal life. If there is no light
    pollution, we will all be able to appreciate the beauty of a
    starry sky even if we live in one of the world’s big cities.
