Internal Report No.11, November 5, 1993 (version 2: August 4, 1994) Dipartimento di Astronomia dell'Università, Vicolo dell'Osservatorio 5, I-35100 Padova, Italy


Summary: In Part A of this bibliography I present a list of more than 400 references of papers on Light Pollution appeared on international scientific magazines and other publications of interest on this field. I list in Part B some books and papers on related fields which may be usefull for people working on Light Pollution. I collect in Part C a list of first articles (48) published on Italian newspapers and magazines and devoted to the general public or amateurs astronomers. Part D contain a preliminary list of more than 130 papers about the effect of light pollution on the natural environment, the animals, the vegetables and the man. The lists will be updated periodically. 

I analyzed the distribution in time of papers and publications included in the Reference List - Part A of version 2 (August 4, 1994). In the period 1968-1992, the mean number of entries for year, averaged over five years, shows a positive derivative increasing with the time and it is well expressed by an exponential function of the time.
