Air quality in South Kalimantan was the worst in Indonesia this morning. Based on the Air Pollution Standard Index (ISPU) page from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) at 08.00 WIB on Monday (12/10/2026), South Kalimantan recorded an air quality index value of 1789.
According to the KLHK Air Pollution Control Directorate, ISPU is a unitless index that describes ambient air quality conditions at a given location, assessed by impacts on human health, aesthetic values, and other living organisms.
ISPU calculations use measurements from 7 air pollutant parameters: PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, and HC. Pollutant measurements are collected across 72 monitoring stations nationwide.

Under KLHK Regulation No. 14 of 2020 on Air Pollution Standard Index: 0-50 = Good air quality; 51-100 = Moderate; 101-200 = Unhealthy, harmful to humans, animals and plants.
Furthermore, the Very Unhealthy range (201-300) increases health risks for sensitive groups. Index values above 300 fall under the Hazardous category, which causes severe health risks requiring immediate response.
After South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan ranked second worst with an index of 1478, followed by South Sumatra in third place with 428.
This means the top three provinces all recorded Hazardous level air quality.
