South Tangerang has the worst air quality compared to other cities in Southeast Asia. The concentration of PM2.5 in this Banten city reaches 81.3 micrograms per cubic meter, which can cause side effects or worsen heart and lung conditions.

Following South Tangerang, the top five are still dominated by Indonesian cities: Bekasi (62.6 micrograms per cubic meter), Pekanbaru (52.8), Pontianak (49.7), and Jakarta (49.4). Talawi and Surabaya also appear in the seventh and tenth positions, respectively.

Hanoi in Vietnam, and Nakhon Ratchasima and Saraphi in Thailand, recorded PM2.5 concentrations in the range of 40 micrograms per cubic meter. This air quality poses a risk of irritation and respiratory problems.
