    This one I did not have on my bingo card :( #ClimateBreakdownBingo

    (but I don't think many of us will experience the effects, after the famines of the coming years...)

    [I still remember a talk that @RelaenaSindelar gave about pharmaceuticals in the waste stream; one of her examples was Sequim, WA - in the banana belt - with retirement communities' flushed medications’ and the downstream/coastal effects - NOT the Grand Canyon! :( ]

  6. Another light pollution/health study using the massive UK #BioBank dataset. “Our findings provide evidence that a higher #ALAN exposure is associated with an increased risk of incident [ulcerative colitis], with a significant dose-response relationship, but not with [Crohn’s disease]. Further studies are needed to elucidate the impact of outdoor ALAN on disease pathogenesis and outcomes.”

  7. Statement from the American Heart Association: "Clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and the public should recognize the role of circadian rhythms in maintaining and promoting cardiometabolic health and focus on identifying modifiable behaviors that can improve them."

  8. Another health study backed by direct measurements of light exposure (rather than guessing what it is from satellite measurements): “In this cohort study, night light exposure was a significant risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases among adults older than 40 years. These findings suggest that, in addition to current preventive measures, avoiding light at night may be a useful strategy for reducing risks of cardiovascular diseases.”

  10. New research suggests that artificial light at night exposure in inpatient clinical settings could be a modifiable risk factor for improving #schizophrenia symptoms and preventing relapses. “ALAN exposure may increase the risk of schizophrenia relapse, potentially mediated by gut microbiota and linoleic acid metabolism.”

  11. DarkSky International restores the nighttime environment and protects communities from the harmful effects of light pollution through outreach, advocacy, and conservation.

    #Lightpollution is the human-made alteration of outdoor light levels from those occurring naturally.

    Light pollution disrupts wildlife, impacts #humanhealth, wastes money and energy, contributes to #climatechange, and blocks our view of the universe.

  12. In this newly published 'short communication' to the Future Healthcare Journal, we argue that the status of artificial light at night as "a pollutant with adverse human and environmental effects" means we should take it seriously as a #PublicHealth issue.

    "If we include the known adverse effects of #ALAN on other planetary species and the climate, as well as the financial impact of in the form of energy waste, surely it makes sense to only use ALAN where evidence shows it can have a positive impact. Just like passive exposure to smoking, will we have to wait another 50 years before we recognise that we could and *should* have done something about this earlier?"
