Light Pollution Brochure

The Light Pollution Research Team of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Office of Astronomy Outreach of the International Astronomical Union co-authored a brochure titled “Light Pollution”. The brochure introduces the global light pollution condition, the impact of light pollution to astronomy and human health, and the importance of dark sky protection. HKU is responsible for translating the contents into Chinese and for enriching the brochure with local conditions on light pollution in Hong Kong, including the scientific studies of light pollution conducted by HKU both locally and globally. We hope this publication can serve to both educate the public on the issue and to eventually reduce the impacts of light pollution.

This brochure is supported by the HKU Knowledge Exchange Fund granted by the University Grants Committee.
