East Jakarta's air quality this afternoon is the worst in the Jabodetabek area, based on data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's (KLHK) Air Pollutant Standard Index (ISPU). East Jakarta's air quality index was recorded at 136 on Monday, October 23, 2023, at 5:00 PM WIB.

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 East Jakarta and South Tangerang, have unhealthy air quality.

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

Everyone residing in areas with very unhealthy and hazardous air quality should avoid all outdoor activities.
