Abstract
The analysis of environmental issues raised by the
excessive artificial illumination in the selected areas of the
central districts of Kyiv was conducted. The level of light
pollution was measured using photometric equipment and
compared to the levels of natural illumination. The instrumental
measurements were amended with visual observation of sky
glow levels and subjective perception of sunset timing. Based
on the obtained results the possible health effects for the
residents of affected districts were considered.
