The light pollution is considered not only a reason for the sky quality reduction previously mentioned, but also a problem affecting biological diversity and landscape, presenting a harmful impact on human beings. Consequently, it is necessary to promote public awareness related to the artificial lighting use and its sustainable management, as well as its integration in the environmental public policies.
Se contempla así el problema relativo a la contaminación lumínica, no solo como causa de una reducción de la anteriormente mencionada calidad del cielo nocturno, sino también como un problema que afecta a la diversidad biológica, al paisaje, y que presenta un impacto nocivo sobre los seres humanos.
