Aim: The aim of the study was to check the level of awareness of light pollution among college students. Introduction: It is important to know about the basic concept and definition of light pollution and my survey. Light pollution is known as excessive, misdirected, or obstructive artificial light which is usually outdoor. Light pollution is the presence of anthropogenic and artificial light in the night environment, but even carefully used light fundamentally alters naturals conditions also. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 college students. I created a self-administered, close-ended questionnaire here and was distributed among college students to learn about their knowledge of light pollution. Results and Discussion: This survey created awareness of light pollution among college students. Light pollution is harmful to environment. About 73% of students are aware that light pollution does cause harm to the environment. Conclusion: Light pollution is known to cause all kinds of problems. Studies show how it can throw sleep cycles out of whack and disrupt the natural ecosystem.
