Abstract

With the continuous development of economy and technology, light pollution has become a new form of environmental pollution affecting human health and ecosystem. To assess the level of light pollution risk in a place, we used the HALOEN model to analyze the local light pollution situation, taking into account the health level of the local population, economic energy consumption, light pollution index, natural environment and urban planning. Using this model, we evaluated and ranked the risk levels of light pollution in four types of areas: protected land, rural communities, suburban communities and urban communities. Quantified according to the data of urban areas in Hubei Province, a total of 20 eligible cities in Hubei Province were selected as samples. Finally, the result of risk level is protected land < rural community < suburban community < urban community. Second, we designed specific interventions to address the problem of light pollution. Our team proposed specific actions in terms of lighting facilities, humanities education and urban planning, and explained the potential impact of these actions on light pollution. Finally, the causes of light pollution in Wuhan and Rio de Janeiro are analyzed, relevant intervention measures are proposed, and the effectiveness of their combination is calculated.
