تحليل جغرافي للتلوث الضوئي في المناطق التجارية لمدينة النجف الأشرف : المصادر و المستويات

الملخص EN

The study aims at identifying the sources of light pollution in the commercial areas of the holy city of Najaf, and measuring the levels of light intensity, as this increasing type of pollution has become important lately.

Measurements (Light Meter CEM DT- ) were made on different samples within the study area to determine the level of light pollution from different shops and to measure the intensity of the lighting used.

The levels recorded were compared with some criteria and were often higher than the health level.

The field survey and the geographical distribution of light pollution in commercial areas showed that there are hot spots with high levels of intensity, and these areas may increase in size and danger in the future, while increasing the excessive use of lighting and urban expansion for commercial use in the study area.
