Lighting in the Home and Health: A Systematic Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 18(2), P. 609 - 609

Published: Jan. 12, 2021

Poor housing is an important determinant of poor health. One key aspect quality lighting. Light for visual performance and safety, also plays a vital role in regulating human physiological functions. This review aims to synthesise existing evidence on the relationship between lighting home health recommends areas future research. Three databases were searched relevant literature using pre-defined inclusion criteria. Study was assessed Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Extracted data qualitatively synthesised according type (natural light, artificial light at night) stratified by broad domains (physical, mental sleep health). Of 4043 records retrieved, 28 studies met There considerable heterogeneity exposure metrics used specific outcome studies. Lighting can negatively affect but current base limited small number different Further research surrounding outcomes required better inform assessments practises home.

A review of the current state of research on artificial blue light safety as it applies to digital devices

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8(8), P. e10282 - e10282

Published: Aug. 1, 2022

Light is necessary for human health and well-being. As we spend more time indoors, are being increasingly exposed to artificial light. The development of lighting has allowed us control the brightness, colour, timing our light exposure. Yet, widespread use raised concerns about impact altering environment on health. adoption personal digital devices over past decade yet another source We a significant amount using with light-emitting screens, including smartphones tablets, at close range. emitted from these devices, while appearing white, an emission spectrum peak in blue Blue often characterised as hazardous its photon energy higher than that other wavelengths visible Under certain conditions, can cause harm retina ocular structures. also influence circadian rhythm processes mediated by melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.

The influence of façade colour, glazing area and geometric configuration of urban canyon on the spectral characteristics of daylight

Building and Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 251, P. 111214 - 111214

Published: Jan. 19, 2024

Since the non-image-forming (NIF) effect of daylight on human circadian system is widely accepted, adequate exposure to now considered one elements a healthy life. In urban environment, prerequisites for adequately lit indoor spaces amount and quality reaching window, which highly dependent characteristics environment. The aim study was determine whether there are correlations between density (i.e., distance buildings, building height), façade surface colour Window-to-Wall Ratios – WWR) NIF potential daylight. conducted parametric geometric model street canyon covering wide range characteristics. Simulation results were interpreted using Relative Melanopic Efficacy coefficient Sky View Factor. indicate that opposite can substantially impact resulting potential, especially orange-red or blue hues. show this influence heights 3 8 storeys becomes significant when width less than 25 m smaller at WWRs above 30 %.
