light in the atmosphere destroys nitrate radicals and it disrupts the normal night time
reduction of the smog that produced by the fumes emitted by the cars and factories on
the Earth. The one who study this named Harald Stark from National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. Light pollution also change the moonlit. It already
proved that excessive light in the night decrease the intensity of polarized moonlit.
Because of the light, the moonlit isnt strongly polarized. Its not a big deal for us as
human because we couldnt see the difference of polarized moonlit and unpolarized
moonlit. But, some scientist said that polarized moonlit used by birds and another
migrating faunas as navigator. More or less, light pollution also have a contribution on
our environment.
From the explanation above, we can conclude that a simple thing like using too
much light has many unrealized negative impacts. We can find the negative impacts on
every aspects for our life. The greatest impact felt by the astronomers or scientist
because light pollution disturb their observation activity. Not only on the science
development, we can also find the impact of light pollution in our health, animals
behavior, energy consumption or even in our environment. Because there are so many
negative impact for our life, we should try to reduce light pollution as well. But the
question is: What can we do to save the world from the darkside of the light pollution?
We can even try to help from the very small things, like turn off the light when we
dont use it or just close the curtain when we turn on the light inside our room. But
beside that, we also can do big things for our society. The main thing is using the light
source effectively. We have to choose the lamp with the minimum intensity to our
necessity. Managing our lighting fixtures will also help too. Especially for the outdoor
lighting like streetlight, we have to direct the light to where it is needed accurately. And
for the long-term period, we have to redesign or evaluate our lighting plans. We can
arrange our lighting based on our necessity. Now, we know that light pollution have
many bad impacts. But the more important thing is we know what to do to reduce it
and save the world from the darkside of light pollution.
