DKI Jakarta's Air Quality This Morning (13/8) Worst in Indonesia

DKI Jakarta's air quality this morning is the worst in Indonesia. Based on the Air Pollutant Standard Index (ISPU) page of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) on Wednesday (13/8/2025) at 08:00 AM WIB, it was revealed that the air quality index in DKI Jakarta was 153.

According to the Directorate of Air Pollution Control of KLHK, ISPU is a dimensionless number used to describe the ambient air quality conditions at a certain location, based on its impact on human health, aesthetic value, and other living organisms.

ISPU calculation is based on the measurement results of seven air pollutant parameters: PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, and HC. Air pollutant parameter measurements are spread across 72 stations in various regions.

Based on Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation (Permen LHK) No. 14 of 2020 concerning the Air Pollutant Standard Index, an ISPU in the range of 0-50 indicates good air quality, 51-100 means moderate air quality, and 101-200 indicates unhealthy air quality that is harmful to humans, animals, and plants.

Furthermore, very unhealthy air quality in the 201-300 range can increase health risks for sensitive groups. Meanwhile, hazardous air quality in the range of more than 300 can seriously harm health and requires quick handling.

Below DKI Jakarta, West Java ranks second worst in Indonesia with an air quality index of 117. Then, in third position is Riau with an air quality index of 92.
