During the last three decades, photon rest mass problem captured special attention of many investigators who have reported several experimental upper limits on the photon mass by using various methods. More recently, Luo et al. obtained the most new upper limit on photon rest mass of $1.2\times 10^{-54}$ Kg by means of rotating torsion balance experiment. Although Luo et al.'s experiment is excellent, here we have a supplement to their result, since our evaluation shows that the photon effective rest mass due to the self-induced charge currents in the environmental dilute plasma (e.g., the muon component and other charged particles in secondary cosmic ray flux) is just the same order of magnitude as Luo's obtained upper limit on photon mass.
