Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi (Jabodetabek) air quality this morning has improved but remains unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Depok's air quality is the worst in the Jabodetabek area this morning, based on the Air Pollutant Standard Index (ISPU) data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). Depok's air quality index was recorded at 92 on Saturday, December 23, 2023, at 8:00 AM WIB.

Tangerang follows Depok with an air quality index of 88, ranking second. Central Jakarta is third with a score of 69.

For information, KLHK categorizes air quality based on the following ISPU ranges:

* 0-50: Good
* 51-100: Moderate
* 101-200: Unhealthy
* 201-300: Very Unhealthy
* 300+: Hazardous

The air quality index (ISPU) is monitored at 72 stations spread across 31 provinces. The air quality index calculation uses measurement results of air pollutant parameters, consisting of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and hydrocarbons (HC).

This indicates that cities in Jabodetabek, such as Depok, Tangerang, Central Jakarta, and Bogor, have moderate air quality.

KLHK advises that individuals in areas with unhealthy air quality should reduce prolonged outdoor physical activity. In areas with moderate air quality, everyone can still engage in outdoor activities except for sensitive groups.

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

The following is a complete list of air quality indices in the Jabodetabek area:

1. Depok: 92
2. Tangerang: 88
3. Central Jakarta: 69
