Environmental Light Pollution Increases Risk Of Breast And Prostate Cancers
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.
