Remote Sensing Suggest Link Between Light at Night and Breast Cancer
Update: Here are the details, via the Washington Post
“By no means are we saying that light at night is the only or the major risk factor for breast cancer,” said Itai Kloog, of the University of Haifa in Israel, who led the new work. “But we found a clear and strong correlation that should be taken into consideration.”
The report is in this week’s online issue of the journal Chronobiology International.
