Technology is only good when it is properly used in a way that it does not ignite an environmental health issue. The use of modern, super-lit technological equipment  is great but when it threatens our environmental health, it calls for concerned action to limit its effect on the environment. In both the industrialized and developing countries, it is becoming very difficult to avoid light pollution even if we knew about the harmful effects of the environmental exposure to night light.  This unconcerned acceptance to the impression that, it is after all 'only light', may be the reason for the increased risk to breast cancer, in women, and prostate cancer in men, in our industrialized society.

It is no longer news that o ne of the leading causes of premature death, to this day, is cancer. And sadly enough, there is still no cure this threat to human health . Furthermore , while there are many environmental factors that are suspected to cause cancer, there are no absolute answer as to what actually causes cancer . How ever, what is certain is how  cancer develops i n the body . The human body is made up of numerous amounts of cells that work every second to ensure optimum efficiency and health . W hen a change (external or internal) in the activities of these cells,  it could damage one of the cell's DNA. This is how cancerous cell s are formed and they begin to spread through the body.
