According to a report by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and Vital Strategies, a global health organization, the transportation sector is the main contributor to PM2.5 air pollution in Jakarta.

PM2.5 are particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers. Due to their extremely small size, these particles can enter the respiratory system, settle in the deep lungs, and potentially cause respiratory problems such as:

* Irritation, coughing, and difficulty breathing;
* Reduced lung function;
* Worsening of asthma;
* Chronic bronchitis;
* Mild heart attacks;
* Premature death for those with heart and lung disease.

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and Vital Strategies estimate that total PM2.5 emissions in Jakarta in 2018 reached 7,842 tons. Of this amount, approximately 67.04% originated from the transportation sector.

PM2.5 emissions in Jakarta also come from the industrial, power generation, residential, and commercial sectors, with proportions as shown in the graph.

However, PM2.5 is not the only pollutant polluting the capital's air. Here is a list of other pollutants:

* Sulfur dioxide (SO2);
* Nitrogen oxides (NOx);
* Carbon monoxide (CO);
* Fine particles less than 10 micrometers in size (PM10);
* Black carbon (BC); and
* Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs).

The transportation sector is responsible for the largest share of emissions of the above pollutants, except for SO2. SO2 emissions in Jakarta were estimated at 4,256 tons in 2018, and the majority originated from the industrial sector.

According to Clean Air Catalyst, a collaborative program between the United States government and non-governmental organizations, air pollution can also cause impaired child development and cardiovascular disease.
