This indicates that cities in Jabodetabek such as South Tangerang, Central Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi have moderate air quality, while Depok's air quality is unhealthy.

KLHK advises that everyone in areas with unhealthy air quality should reduce prolonged outdoor physical activity. Meanwhile, in areas with moderate air quality, everyone can still be outdoors except for sensitive groups.

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