This breaks down to 45.3% of respondents stating that air quality was poor and 12.8% stating it was very poor.
Conversely, only 37.9% of respondents said that Indonesia's air quality was good. This includes 33.4% rating it as good and 4.5% as very good. A further 4% of respondents said they didn't know.
This aligns with findings from IQAIR data, which showed an Air Quality Index (AQI US) of 166 in Jakarta at 1:38 PM WIB on July 12, 2023.
According to IQAir's scale, a score in the range of 151-200 indicates unhealthy air quality. This score even shows Jakarta ranking as the second city with the worst air quality in the world currently.

More than half of the respondents were from the island of Java (excluding Jakarta) at 63.7%, followed by Jakarta (14.5%), and Sumatra (12.2%). The proportion of respondents from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua ranged from 0.5% to 4.5%.
