light pollution
a very enjoyable morning to my honorable friends and respected teacher. I am the first speaker
from team 2 and today we going to talk about light pollution
so have u ever gone outside of your house and looked up to the sky? how many star can u see. a
hundred, a million or nothing but darkness?
It’s not bc there are no stars in the sky. there are billion of stars. light pollution has been
considered to be the culprit of the disappearance of stars and today we shall find out about the
phenomenal occurs in this presentation
In this presentation there are 4 contents to discover, they’re…( nhifn slide doc)
Notion
so i guess u have heard alot about this term but what is it?
basiclly
light pollution is an over-illumination of cites and night skies by artificial lighting. It’s caused by
the abundance of light sources emitting light outside of an intended direction
several types of light pollution exist including
GLARE
Imagine walking down the street on a really bright day. Suddenly, the windshield of a car reflects
sunlight right into your eyes. This is called glare. Glare can make it difficult to see, and can even
be painful.
LIGHT TREEPASS
is when light shines outside of the area
SKYGLOW
is a form of light pollution that makes the night sky brighter. It often looks like a yellow halo
around a city.
II. REASON
Misplaced lighting
street lights, security lights, and neon signs are often placed in the wrong spots, illuminating
unnecessary areas and the main reason leading to light pollution
..
however no matter what form light pollution takes, each can have unintended yet harmful
impacts to our society
and for this part i would like to invite my partner beaver to continue
III. DAMAGING EFFECTS
1) living quality for inhabitants
Mental health issues - light pollution can contribute to depression, anxiety, and other mental
health problems, making it harder for people to maintain good mental wellbeing
Physical health problems - light pollution is linked to a variety of physical health problems,
including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer
2) the nature
-Disrupting natural cycles - excess light can disrupt the natural circadian rhythms of plants and
animals, affecting their growth, reproduction, and behavior

+Uusing more energy-efficient lighting - This includes using LEDs, which are highly efficient and
produce less light pollution than traditional lights, but also reducing overall light usage and using
the minimum amount of light necessary to address safety concerns
+Encouraging the use of dark-sky initiatives - This includes protecting and preserving places
with limited light pollution, such as dark-sky parks, to allow for stargazing, scientific
observations, and other activities
+Reducing light intensity - using light fixtures with lower power, using full cutoff fixtures, and
dimming lights can help reduce light pollution
=========
Solutions to light pollution will need to balance the requirements of human needs and activities
with the needs of the environment and the health of wildlife. By working together and
implementing responsible lighting practices, we can address the problem of light pollution and
help protect our ecosystems and night skies for generations to come.
