Presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, stated that Lampung Province is unable to detect air pollution because it lacks air monitoring equipment.

This statement was made during the first 2024 Presidential Candidate Debate, themed "Governance, Law, Human Rights, Corruption Eradication, Strengthening Democracy, Improvement of Public Services, and Community Harmony," held at the KPU office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.

"When the wind blows towards Lampung, towards Sumatra, towards the Java Sea, there are no monitoring devices there, so (the pollution) doesn't show up," said Anies.

However, according to the 2022 Performance Report of the Directorate of Air Pollution Control, Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), Bandar Lampung already possesses an ambient air quality monitoring station (SPKUA) and has undergone maintenance. This area was one of 38 other regencies/cities that had such equipment last year.

The following is the distribution of SPKUAs in Indonesia, spread across 38 regencies/cities by island in 2022:

* Sumatra: Jambi, Palembang, Pekanbaru, Padang, Aceh, Batam, Medan, Bengkulu, Bandar Lampung, Pangkalpinang (10 units)
* Kalimantan: Palangkaraya, Pontianak, Banjarmasin, Samarinda, Pulang Pisau (5 units)
* Java: Jakarta, Depok, Bekasi, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Malang, Serang, East Jakarta (10 units)
* Sulawesi: Makassar, Manado, Gorontalo, Kendari, Mamuju, Palu (6 units)
* Bali & Nusa Tenggara: Mataram, Denpasar, Kupang (3 units)
* Maluku & Papua: Jayapura, Ambon, Manokwari, Ternate (4 units)
