LIGHT POLLUTION

LIGHT POLLUTION

Light pollution, also known as photo pollution is the unreasonable use of artificial sources of light.

 TYPES OF LIGHT POLLUTION

• Light Violation
• Glower
• Sky Bloom
• Light Mess

LIGHT VIOLATION

Light Violation also known as split light, occurs when light from the sources illuminates beyond the property lines, accidentally illuminating the other homes, properties and areas.The main disadvantage of this is that we can not recognised from when, where,and how much the light is unwanted.

GLOWER

When the light field is greater than the light which an eye can adopt is called GLOWER.Its depend on the intensity of light.It reduces the eye performance and contrast. 

SKY  BLOOM

It produces by the natural sources, but the poorly design the artificial lights the main causes of the sky bloom.It is produces when the light is directly emitted in atmosphere, where it is scattered by the dust and gas molecules and generate a dome like orange glow that covers the night sky.Sky Gloom mostly visible in cities throughout the world.

LIGHT MESS

Light Mess is the group of many bright lights that causes confusion and trouble the surrounding objects.It is visible on the roads in the form of the street lights which distract the drivers and pilots.

EFFECTS OF LIGHT POLLUTION

• Light pollution has a bad effect on the astronomers than the other people because they face difficulties to view the stars and moon.

• Human, plants and other wild life live according to the system and work in a regular manner.Their bodies produces special hormones in light to do work and in night for the sleep.They are disturbed by light pollution.

• By the unwanted use of light causes the wastage of energy sources.According to the survey, 30 % of energy is wasted through the street lights.

PREVENTIONS

• Use LED bulbs because it uses less amount of energy and act as a energy savers.
• Use only shielded light bulbs because it reduces the splitting of light directly to the atmosphere.
• Turn off all the light fixtures when you are in home and before going to bed for the savage of light.
