Lampung's Air Quality Wednesday Morning (19/11) Worst in Indonesia

Lampung's air quality this morning is the worst in Indonesia. Based on the Air Pollution Standard Index (APSI) page of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) on Wednesday (19/11/2025) at 08:00 AM WIB, it was revealed that the air quality index in Lampung was 176.

According to the KLHK Directorate of Air Pollution Control, APSI is a dimensionless number used to describe ambient air quality conditions at a specific location and is based on impacts on human health, aesthetic value, and other living things.

APSI calculation is based on the measurement results of seven air pollutant parameters, namely PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, and HC. Measurements of air pollutant parameters are spread across 72 stations in various regions.

Based on KLHK Regulation No. 14 of 2020 concerning the Air Pollution Standard Index, an APSI in the range of 0-50 indicates good air quality, 51-100 means moderate air quality, and 101-200 indicates unhealthy air quality that is harmful to humans, animals, and plants.

Furthermore, very unhealthy air quality in the range of 201-300 can increase health risks for sensitive groups. Meanwhile, hazardous air quality in the range of more than 300 can seriously harm health and requires quick handling.

Below Lampung, Banten is in the second-worst position in Indonesia with an air quality index of 95. Then, in third place is Jambi with an air quality index of 89.

This means that no region has hazardous air quality.

Here is a list of the 10 provinces with the worst air quality index in Indonesia on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 08:00 AM WIB.
