Ecological light pollution is the effect of artificial light on individual organisms and on the structure of ecosystems as a whole. The effect that artificial light has upon organisms is highly variable, and ranges from beneficial (e.g. increased ability for predator species to observe prey) to immediately fatal (e.g. moths that are attracted to incandescent lanterns and are killed by the heat). It is also possible for light at night to be both beneficial and damaging for a species. As an example, humans benefit from using indoor artificial light to extend the time available for work and play, but the light disrupts the human circadian rhythm, and the resulting stress is damaging to health.

  • التلوث الضوئي البيئي هو التأثير الذي يُحدثه الضوء الصناعي على كائن حي ما أو على النظم البيئي ككل. يختلف التأثير الذي يحدثه الضوء الصناعي على الكائنات الحية بين كائن وآخر، إذ يتراوح ما بين قدرة الأنواع الحية المفترسة على رؤية فريستها، وبين موتها المباشر كما يحدث للعث لدى انجذابه للشعلة أو النار فيموت بسبب الحرارة. يمكن للضوء الصناعي في الليل أن يكون مفيدًا وضارًا في نفس الوقت للكائن الحي. على سبيل المثال، يستفيد البشر من الضوء الصناعي لزيادة ساعات العمل واللعب، ولكن يسبب هذا الضوء خللًا في الساعة البيولوجية للجسم مؤديًا للضغط النفسي الضار بالصحة.
