Abstract
Light pollution is becoming a problem at night due to the use of artificial lighting. The artificial light disturbs the day and night rhythms of humans and animals. Therefore, Nobian, who has three factories located on the chemical park Delfzijl and close to the Waddensea, wants to know if they cause light pollution and if there is pollution how it can be resolved. For industrial areas light pollution in the night is classified when the amount of lux is above 5. The amount of light will be measured in lux with the Peaktech 5086 and the data will be put into ArcGIS. ArcGIS can interpolate the data points and create a map which will show how the light is distributed across the area of Nobian. The maps produced by ArcGIS showed light pollution at all three factories, especially at the MEB factory. There are several measures which can be taken to reduce light pollution. The three ways used in this research are: shutting of or dimming lights, limit the area of lighting, and prevent over-illumination. This research provided an answer to the question of Nobian and provides ways to reduce the pollution. For further research instead of just focusing on Nobian, the whole chemical park should be taken into account. The whole chemical park uses light at night and therefore contributes to the light pollution.
