Springer - Light Pollution and Breast and Prostate Cancers

Explore the connection between modern lighting and human health in this scientific study by Springer. This book examines how light pollution may act as a new risk factor for breast and prostate cancers (BC&PC) in humans. By looking at the relationship between widespread electric lighting and these specific health concerns, the text provides a deep look into a relatively new phenomenon in human history. The content illustrates various research hypotheses regarding the health effects of light pollution. It uses evidence from animal models and population-based studies to build its case. This work is important for those looking to understand the biological connections between our changing environment and long-term health outcomes. It brings together several subjects that have not previously been fully appreciated in a single, clearly written volume.
