Light for Public Health
Also: Ladenburg consensus statements on light and health
An international effort, chaired by Manuel Spitschan of the Technical University of Munich, that turned expert consensus on how light affects sleep, mood and the body clock into plain public-health statements. The statements are translated into about 20 languages for health communicators, teachers and planners to reuse in their own messaging.
