Abstract

The alteration of the natural quantity of light in the night environment due to the introduction of artificial light is a true pollution. “Pollution” means “impairment of the purity of the environment” (e.g. Mc Graw Hill Scie. Tech. Dictionary). Light pollution stands for “pollution of the light”: pollution of the natural light due to manmade light.
