← Resources Library | Light pollution & sustainability
A Science review synthesising the evidence that nocturnal light exposure strains the visual system, disrupts circadian physiology, suppresses melatonin secretion and impairs sleep, with a growing body of work pointing to chronic disease risk. It identifies critical areas for future research and highlights the policy steps and recommendations already available for mitigating light pollution in the urban environment, including the gaps that remain in outdoor lighting standards.
