Diesel Generators releases black carbon which affects plant life.
It is also hazardous to the lungs and general health. by Dr. Nitish Priyadarshi F ig.1. Thick layer of black carbon deposited on the fungus. Source is nearby diesel generator . Fig.2 Black carbon being deposited on the fungus. Fig.3 Black carbon deposited on the fungus. Fig.4. Black carbon deposited on leafs. Fig.5. Dead leafs due to the impact of exhaust fumes from the diesel generator. Above photographs shows how the black carbons released by the diesel generators affect the plants. Black carbon or soot is seen deposited on fungus. These fungus are very nearer to the exhaust pipe of the generator. Even the leaves exposed to the fumes are seen dead in the picture.
