Thank you for your reply, I have done so well health wise to recover from this scourge of lung cancer by having been a swimmer 1 hour a day for 25 years before I got this, I was strong. I will post an up to date picture, my building is 2 and one half story, the exhaust pipe terminates next door...

I showed all kinds of detrimental effects that diesel fuel has on people to the inspector, met with him and one of the owners, building operations, requested they move this exhaust overhead out of our faces, they do not care. They will only do what the inpector requires and in Dallas, that is...
I posted this awhile back, but have still not come up with answer ( that makes sense). Huge generator on newly built nursing home placed at fence line 10 feet away, diesel fuel pipe above that 10 feet from property line, and 13 feet from front porch.
