Based on IQAir data, at 12:00 WIB (Western Indonesian Time) on Friday, August 11, 2023, Jakarta's air quality index reached 161 points.

This means that the level of air pollution in Jakarta is quite high, making the air unhealthy.

The main air pollutants in Jakarta are carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) 2.5, particulate matter (PM) 10, and sulfur dioxide (SO2).

According to the Jakarta Air Pollution Emission Inventory report, throughout 2018, the capital city bore the burden of pollution from these various types of pollutants with the following volumes:

* CO2: 298,170 tons
* NOx: 106,068 tons
* PM 2.5: 8,817 tons
* PM 10: 7,842 tons
* SO2: 4,257 tons

These various pollutants generally originate from the transportation and processing industries.

The transportation sector is the main contributor to CO2 (96.36% of the total pollution volume in Jakarta in 2018), NOx (72.40%), PM 2.5 (67.03%), and PM 10 (57.99%).

Meanwhile, the processing industry is the number one source of SO2 (61.96%), and the second largest contributor to NOx (11.49%), PM 10 (33.9%), and PM 2.5 (26.81%).

According to several studies compiled by IQAir, the various types of pollutants above can trigger serious illnesses.

If inhaled in high concentrations, CO2 can cause lethargy, headaches, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. In extreme cases of CO2 exposure, it can also cause shortness of breath and seizures.

NOx can increase the risk of bronchitis, while SO2 can trigger respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

The risk of shortness of breath, lung disease, heart disease, and cancer can also increase due to exposure to PM 2.5 and PM 10.

To avoid the risk of illness due to air pollution, IQAir recommends that Jakarta residents avoid outdoor activities, close windows, and wear masks when traveling.
