Abstract :
Abstract The study was conducted to observe the influence of Generator emissions on the Total Leucocytes Count (TLC) of the common house rat, Rattus rattus linnaeus, 1758 collected from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh (India). The Total Leucocytes Count values were estimated in GroupI control and GroupII experimental which were exposed to generator emissions from 5KV diesel generator. The latter were further subdivided into four groups, based on distance of exposure [group A (2 feet), Group B (4feet), Group C (6feet), Group D (8 feet)] The results indicated significantly lower values in exposed rats suggesting that the emissions adversely affected TLC exposed as heart disease, high fever and cancer. When from 2 feet distance mortality of 33.33% was observed.
