Reported by AI Image generated by AI Fact checked
A preliminary analysis from Boston researchers ties greater exposure to artificial light at night to heightened stress activity in the brain, arterial inflammation, and a higher risk of major heart events. The work will be presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025 in New Orleans on November 7–10 and frames light pollution as a potentially modifiable environmental factor.
