The air quality index or ISPU is monitored at 72 stations spread across 31 provinces. The calculation of the air quality index uses the results of measurements 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 Bekasi, South Tangerang, East Jakarta, Central Jakarta, South Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta, and Bogor have moderate air quality, while Tangerang has 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 be outdoors except for sensitive groups.

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