4 Risks / Opportunities / Measures [i]

Risk: DG Emissions have become a major reason of concern because it emit high levels of air
and noise polluting elements.
Oppertunity: Use Gas-based generators either by retrofitting existing generators for partial
usage of gas (a mixture of diesel and gas) or buying new gas-based generators.
Measures: Periodic testing of stack emission can reduce the risk of environmental as well as
health hazards..

5 Health & Safety [i]

Exposure to diesel fumes leads to coughing, sore throat and eyes, headaches, nausea,
respiratory issues, and lung inflammation.

6 Environmental aspects [i]

Diesel emission levels of NOx, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons contribute to poor air
quality. The smell coming from the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons causes cancer.
