Urban light pollution survey: lack of specific standards, quantitative and qualitative difficulty

In Chengdu City, Chenghua District Hongshan Road area, when the lanterns, on both sides of the street shops in front of the door, with a LED light bulb made of the shop signs became a special landscape. Gorgeous colors so that people can be noticed far away.

However, these gorgeous advertising signs, but also caused the residents of the surrounding problems. "The light is too bright, sleep at night can not sleep well," the doll at home to do homework, simply can not sit by the window"...... November 2nd, readers call Tucao gorgeous lighting brings trouble.

Merchant shop recruit the use of such luminous fonts, exactly what the rules?.

Shop recruit brightness is not limited, as long as the business is willing to do"

At the beginning of 2015, Jia Qiang, a resident of Chengdu, moved into a new house on the ground floor of a residential building on the north side of Hongshan Road, but it was not long before the family would be happy.

With the surrounding residential occupancy rate increased, more and more shops along the street, many businesses have adopted a luminous font shop strokes, and a brighter than a house, too dazzling, simply did not dare to stand on the balcony. "

At first, the height of the 6 floor, but also to avoid street shops shop direct lighting, Jia Qiang only need to pull the curtains. But a few months ago, a restaurant outside the area to the LED advertising signs to the roof, a big tea word, just to the home of the Qiang Jia lie window, straight distance of less than 5 meters. One night, the bedroom light, even if the curtains, but also very dazzling, just in front of the desk, too bad for the baby's eyes. "

In the Red Star Road shop, specializing in various types of shop recruit Peng Qiang said frankly that the current market, the merchant shop recruit, its luminous fonts are basically used LED light source, specifications ranging from 5 volts to 12 volts. If you want to have a lighter font, use a larger wattage bulb, but also make it brighter by encrypting the light bulb. At present, there is no clear restrictions on the shop light, as long as the business is willing to do. Peng Qiang said.

Chengdu Urban Management Committee advertising signs Management Department official said, at present in the various types of complaints received by the city management, and the number of complaints related to light pollution straight up.

Quantitative and qualitative difficulty can only be defined as illegally built or disturbing"

In recent years, the relevant law enforcement agencies are also for the relevant complaints, to take special rectification action, but the effect is not ideal. The person in charge of the analysis, on the one hand is a violation of the provisions of the business to build signs, repeated, another important reason is that the existing rules and regulations in terms of advertising signs and other aspects of the brightness is not clearly limited.

In September 2015, the Chengdu Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee amended the "Regulations on the administration of outdoor advertising and signs of Chengdu" was formally put into effect. As a special specification for outdoor advertising and signs of planning, setting, management regulations, the shop only to do the brightness of the provisions of the provisions of the night light source of the fuzzy limit.

The person in charge, at present, only from the perspective of the examination and approval according to law to further standardize. In accordance with the regulations, all stores must be approved after the election to vote. It can be made clear that a shop trick, and can not use the roof of the building to build advertising signs, while the font and the number of shops also have restrictions. "

From the point of view of environmental protection, the lack of corresponding laws and regulations support. Chengdu Environmental Protection Bureau official said, because there is no specific parameters of light pollution standards, that is, how to define as pollution, specific hazards and so on, so can only be defined as disturbing".

For such a helpless, Jia Qiang deep feelings. He admitted that since this year, complaints have been to a number of channels, but also in private and business coordination many times, but the problem has not been resolved. In this regard, the Chengdu City Administration Committee of the relevant responsible person said, after investigation and verification will intensify regulation, also called on businesses not only their own business interests, regardless of regulations set up without authorization signs, to the public life and city landscape impact, it shall handle the trademark examination and approval procedures and standard setting, and jointly safeguard the city the environment.
