New street lighting, using the technology of LED lamps, can double the risk of cancer. To this conclusion came the researchers from the University of Exeter, together with colleagues from Spain.

In many countries of the world, including the UK, a new generation of street lighting is being introduced based on LED lamps. The study showed that this kind of lighting devices significantly increase the risk of developing breast and prostate tumors. In this regard, scientists warn the authorities that the use of LED lamps should be limited until authoritative scientific studies confirm or refute the relationship between this type of lighting and the risk of tumors.

Only in the UK already hundreds of thousands of street lamps switched to LED lighting, which is much cheaper in cost and allocating fewer emissions. However, a health analysis of more than 4,000 people living in 11 different regions of Spain showed a clear link between the intensive use of LED lamps and the increased risk of prostate cancer in half.

In this case, the probability of developing breast tumors grew by one and a half times.

In connection with the peculiarities of the methodology of this study, it is impossible to prove the cause-and-effect relationship by its results, but the authors are convinced that the blue light emitted by the LED devices can disrupt the circadian rhythms of the body, and this negatively affects the production of hormones.
