During 2019, the topic of light pollution was highly considered by scholars over the world. A total of 110 publications were published in indexed journals : Clarivate<\/span> – https:\/\/clarivate.com\/<\/a>. <\/em><\/h6>\n

These articles were published in a total of 86 different journals about biological sciences<\/strong> (e.g. Biological Conservation, Biological Letters, etc.), ecology<\/strong> (e.g. Ecological Indicators, Ecography, etc.), environmental miscellanea<\/strong> (e.g. Sustainability, Science of the Total Environment, Scientific Reports, etc.), engineering and urban geography<\/strong> (e.g. Photonics Letters of Poland, Urban Studies, etc.) or air quality and pollution<\/strong> (e.g. Astrophysics and Space Science, Environmental Pollution, etc.).<\/p>\n

However, it is worthy to note that there are also papers related to human health because, during the last years, some new hypothesis are developed regarding the negative impacts of light pollution on circadian rhythms, intern clock or sleep disruption and even, cardiovascular diseases. Finally, it is relevant to the new research line conducted by some groups related to the negative impacts of light pollution on astronomic tourism. Of about 86 papers were classified as research articles, 16 as review papers and the rest as editorials, short communications and reports. This shows the relevance of this topic for the scientific community to :<\/p>\n
