    Pollution
    The presence of a substance in the environment which has harmful or poisonous effects is called
    pollution. The different types of pollution are:
    1. Air pollution
    2. Water pollution
    3. Soil pollution
    4. Light pollution
    5. Noise pollution
    6. Radioactive pollution

    Light Pollution
    Light pollution is the excessive use of outdoor lighting. Too much of light is wasted every day,
    which eventually results in increase in the energy consumption, and thus interferes with
    astronomical research, disrupts ecosystems, affects the health and safety of humans and wildlife.

    Causes of light pollution in Dhaka


    The main causes of light pollution are:

    1. Poor Planning – The placement of signage and street lights is planned by


    engineers, if they do not take into account the effect placement has on
    the surrounding environment they can create glare, light trespass and light clutter.
    2. Irresponsible use – We may love Christmas lights but leaving them on all night is
    a form of pollution, as is leaving a room with the lights still on. Not actively
    choosing to minimize energy waste is a huge source of light pollution.
    3. Overpopulation – That is really a zoning issue. Too many businesses, or too
    many residences, grouped in one area can cause light pollution of many kinds.
    Effects of light pollution in Dhaka
    The main effects of light pollution are:

    1. Animals – Lights can attract or repel animals and insects. Most animal life
    functions on a diurnal or nocturnal system is thrown out of sync by light pollution.
    This can place entire species in danger, or attract unwanted species into human
    areas.
    2. People – The wrong kind of light, or too much light has been proven to have an
    impact on our health and quality of life. Light pollution also increases danger to
    people as it can interfere with important navigational systems for trains, planes
    and even automobiles.
    3. The Earth – The Earth’s ecosystem is dependent on cycles of natural light. The
    light in the sky alone can cause a loss in growth protection as the reflected light
    off the atmosphere will prevent the natural UV rays from reaching the Earth. This
    disrupts growth and decay cycles that our food, air and water supply is dependent
    on.

    Conclusion
    Over the years people are becoming self-conscious about the after effects of light pollution.
    Many NGOs are helping to reduce pollution. The government is also helping by minimizing the
    use of lights, using of automatic systems to turn off street light at certain times reducing the use
    decorative lighting etc. Even though all these efforts we also have to get ourselves directly
    involved in this fight against pollution only then we will be win this fight.
