Effects of Light Pollution on Macroscopic Living System: A Concise Review

_ Abstract: The growing worldwide population has increased the demand for housing development in cities, suburbs, and rural locations. This tendency, combined with the slow but steady march of urbanization and globalization, has given rise to a distinct "night lifestyle" in which people engage in various recreational activities late at night and early in the morning. While much research and intervention has focused on air, water, soil, and noise pollution, light pollution has yet to get much attention. Light pollution has an impact on various physiological, behavioural, psychological, and ecological processes in both land and marine environments. This review will investigate the numerous forms and sources of light pollution, and its wide-ranging consequences on plants, animals, and human health. By doing so, this review paper hopes to raise awareness of the seriousness of light pollution issues and their influence on daily life.
