Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram, have found that blue light can greatly increase the number of genetic mutations in yeast.
The findings suggest prolonged exposure to blue light could also pose similar risks to other organisms. This will need more research to confirm.
These effects of blue light exposure also go beyond its known impact on sleep cycles and vision.
