Abstract
Light pollution from the use of artificial lighting poses significant impacts on human health, traffic safety, ecological environment, astronomy, and energy use. The advancement of characteristics of light pollution assessment technology has played a significant role in shaping prevention and control policies, thereby enabling measures, such as environmental standards and legislation and product procurement guidelines, but considerable variation in the definition, control strategies, and regulatory frameworks remains. Therefore, there is a need to review the characteristics of light pollution, including the assessment technique, policy, and legislation. Through the literature review, it can be found that technical standards are required to prevent light pollution. For example, light pollution is decreased by 6% in France through the legislation of artificial light. Key approaches are suggested to control global light pollution, including implementing ambient brightness zoning, regulating lighting product usage, and establishing dark sky reserves. Technology and policy should be integrated. The precise data coming from satellite imagery, drones, and balloons could provide guidance when making the policies.
