Light is essential for living organisms; however, excessive light
causes adverse health conditions. This book covers the most recent
progress on nanotechnology for reducing light pollution, discussing
many approaches and technologies for controlling light pollution. The
book explores the fundamentals of light and the causes of light
pollution, delving into light pollution’s social, economic, and
ecological impacts, its effects on living beings and the environment,
as well as possible solutions and methods of control. The text
discusses smart lighting technology, covering the various smart
nanomaterials, nanosensors, and nanodevices involved. It also explores
smart lighting involving natural light from the sun, artificial
skydomes, shadow-free/secondary light sources, and the basics of many
emerging devices such as light-emitting diodes and photosensors.
Nanotechnology is key to providing a new route for the next generation
of lighting devices and systems with reduced light pollution. This
essential reference illuminates emerging technologies and their
applications, providing new directions to scientists, researchers, and
students to better understand the principles, technologies, and
applications of nanotechnology in light pollution.
