<br/><br/> The Philippines produces a significant portion of its  electricity from diesel power plants. These plants emit pollutants to the environment.  This study concentrates on developing a set of  environmental policies a nd guide lines which a r e low cost but  able to alleviate the most serious impacts created by these  power plants . An eclectic methodology was used to quantify, to  the extent possible , effects of these plants on the air,  water a nd the noise it creates. The results show that these  plants can be hazardous to the environment if no measures are  taken.  The guidelines developed con cent rate on the plant  management level and were integrated into the job descriptions  of the affected plant personnel.
