light polutan is the change of natural light levels in the night environment produced by introduction of

artificial light. Because of the continuous growth of nighttime artificial lighting, this problem is
increasingly debated. In fact, many localities have developed regulations to restrict the wasteful loss of
light into the sky and environment.

The expanding use of light at night is because humans are diurnal animals. They are trying to extend
activities into the usually dark hours. This increasing use is driven by what seems common sense, and by
the lighting industry with justifications that at first may seem correct.
