  • 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.
