Light Pollution in Ultraviolet and Visible Spectrum: Effect on Different Visual Perceptions
In general terms, lighting research has been focused in the development of artificial light with the purpose of saving energy and having more durable lamps. However, the consequences that artificial night lighting could bring to the human being and living organisms have become an important issue recently. Light pollution represents a significant problem to both the environment and human health ...
متن کاملEffect of near ultraviolet and visible light on amoeba.
The near ultraviolet and visible light (VL) impinging at an intensity of 2-5 x 10(2) J s-1 m-2 for 2-5 h kills the mitotic and the early S-phase (0- to 15-min-old) amoebae. At the mid- and late S-period only a fraction of cells are killed by VL and G2 phase cells are quite resistant. Amoebae of all cell cycle stages show a delay in the first mitotic division. DNA synthesis, as measured by [3H]t...
متن کاملThe effect of visible light on the carcinogenicity of ultraviolet light.
Several investigators have reported that white light will counteract the effects produced in lower organisms exposed to ultraviolet light. Whitaker (14) has observed that the inhibitory effects of ul traviolet on fucus eggs could be counteracted by white light. Kelner (6)-has demonstrated spectac ular recoveries of various micro-organisms in activated with ultraviolet. Blum and Matthews (3) hav...
متن کاملVisible and near-ultraviolet absorption spectrum of liquid water.
The optical absorption of pure liquid water in the 300-700-nm region has been measured by use of a long (1.5-m) path-length cell. The absorption spectrum coincides well with the edge of previous data in the 200-320-nm region and provides reliable data in the 320-420-nm region that has until now been a region of considerable unreliability. The data obtained for the 420-700-nm region agree quite ...
متن کاملAntibacterial response of Cd-TiO2/PEG/folic acid nanocomposite under ultraviolet, visible light, or ultrasonic irradiation
Synthesis and characterization of Cd-TiO2/PEG/FA nanocomposite as a biomaterial is the main aim of this research. Cd-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by solvothermal assisted sol-gel method. Then, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added to the as-synthesized NPs in order to modify their surface and to prevent agglomeration. In the next step, folic acid (FA) was conjugated to Cd-TiO2/...
