Engineering Effects of Light Pollution and Electric Glow

Abstract

The engineering effects of light pollution and electric glow, which differs in its electrical effect on living organisms from one organism to another, as it ranges from the ability of predatory species to see their prey, and their direct death, as happens to moths when they are attracted to flame or fire and die due to heat. The effects of electrical light pollution resulting from ineffective or unnecessary use of artificial light. Specific categories of light pollution include: light trespassing, over-illumination, glare, optical turbulence, and celestial flare. The offending light source often falls into more than one of these categories. For example, humans make use of artificial light to increase work and play hours, but this light causes an imbalance in the body's biological clock, leading to psychological stress that is harmful to health. The geometry of the environment of living organisms is affected by the different effects of light on individual species. For example, some types of spiders avoid lighted places, while others build their webs on a lamppost. These changes in the numbers of living organisms may result in unintended consequences because the interaction of living species with each other is affected, and thus changes in the food web occur. For example, changes in the activity of nocturnal insects can affect the survival rates of night-blooming plants, which themselves provide food and shelter for diurnal animals.
