Abstract

The article explores the pervasive issue of light pollution, particularly focusing on the detrimental impact of unshielded wallpacks, which are identified as a dangerous and destructive light source. Topics include the historical context of lighting, the prevalence of wallpacks, their negative effects on the environment and public health, and a call for a manufacturing moratorium to address their light-polluting capabilities and promote sustainable alternatives.
