Bekasi's air quality this morning is the worst in the Jabodetabek area, according to the Air Pollutant Standard Index (ISPU) data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). Bekasi's air quality index was recorded at 110 on Thursday (14/12/2023) at 08.00 WIB.

The air quality index (ISPU) is monitored at 72 stations spread across 31 provinces. The air quality index calculation uses measurement results of air pollutant parameters, consisting of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and hydrocarbons (HC).

This indicates that cities in Jabodetabek such as Central Jakarta, North Jakarta, Tangerang, Depok, West Jakarta, and Bogor have moderate air quality, while Bekasi and East Jakarta have unhealthy air quality.

KLHK advises that individuals in areas with unhealthy air quality should reduce prolonged outdoor physical activity. In areas with moderate air quality, everyone can still engage in outdoor activities except for sensitive groups.

Those living in areas with very unhealthy and hazardous air quality should avoid all outdoor activities.
