Abstract
The paper presents a normative analysis of Polish legislation, along with recommendations for necessary changes that would provide legal instruments to counteract artificial light pollution. The aim is to indicate the regulations essential for limiting the harmful emission of artificial light in key aspects that result from the environmental protection law in connection with provisions on technical standards and requirements. Counteracting light pollution requires not only defining emission standards, but also rational planning that takes into account land use or the function a given area serves. In addition, it is essential that appropriate technical standards be established for the design and installation of outdoor lighting.
