摘要: |
Photo pollution is a phenomenon that has been reported since a long time, but the specialist's reaction is still modest. There are some attempts for specific regulations. Using photographic tools can be a solution, especially because of the possibilities to achieve global measurements of the lighting field. The purpose of this paper is to substantiate a work in which the general public aware of the phenomenon, based on qualitative evaluations and quantitative assessments. Moving from clear vision at night, for which there are sufficient quantitative information, toward the assessing of photo (light) pollution. The outcome is to finding a way to better observe early forms of light pollution and also to promptly report the serious situations. The purpose of this paper is to increase the awareness about the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Code of Practice for lighting of public thoroughfares and to provide practical guidance on energy-efficient street lighting best practices. These guidelines can also contribute to the development of future standards. |
