DKI Jakarta Air Pollution Morning (Sept 8) Worst in Indonesia

Air quality in DKI Jakarta this morning is the worst in Indonesia. Based on the Environmental Pollution Standard Index (ISPU) page of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) on Monday (September 8, 2025) at 08.00 WIB, it was revealed that the air quality index in DKI Jakarta was 96.

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

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

Based on Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 14 of 2020 concerning the Air Pollutant Standard Index, an ISPU in the range of 0-50 indicates good air quality, a range of 51-100 means moderate air quality, and a range of 101-200 indicates unhealthy air quality that is detrimental 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 action.

Below DKI Jakarta, Riau ranks second worst in Indonesia with an air quality index of 94. Then, in third place is Kep. Riau (Riau Islands) with an air quality index of 92.
