Light pollution in Spain - An european perspective

Authors: Alejandro Sanchez de Miguel, Jaime Zamorano

Abstract: Spain appears in light pollution maps as a country less polluted than their neighbours in the European Union. This seems to be an illusion due to its low population density. The data indicate that Spain is one of the most contaminated countries. To reach these conclusions we compare the Spanish case to those of other European countries.
