الملخص EN

The study aims at identifying the external and internal sources of light pollution in the residential areas of the holy city of Najaf and measuring the intensity levels of the light produced by it, considering that this increasing type of pollution has become important lately.

Measurements (by Light Meter CEM DT-8820) were carried out on different samples within the study area to determine the level of light pollution from different residential units and to measure the intensity of light both indoor and outdoor.

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 residential 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 residential use in the study area
