Jakarta's Air Quality Ranked Fifth Worst in the World

Antara News | Local Language | News | Oct. 6, 2025 | Pollution

Jakarta's air quality on Sunday morning was classified as unhealthy, ranking fifth worst in the world. The Air Quality Index (AQI) measured at 134, driven by PM2.5 pollution at 49 micrograms per cubic meter, indicates that the air poses health risks to sensitive groups and can affect plants and aesthetics. Authorities recommended limiting outdoor activities, wearing masks when outside, and keeping windows closed to reduce exposure.

Air quality categories range from good (PM2.5 0-50) with no health effects, to hazardous (PM2.5 300-500), which seriously harms public health. Moderate air quality (PM2.5 51-100) does not affect human health but can impact sensitive plants, while very unhealthy (PM2.5 200-299) can harm certain exposed populations.

Lahore, Pakistan, topped the list with an AQI of 179, followed by Delhi, India (170), Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (156), and Hanoi, Vietnam (156). Jakarta's Environmental Agency (DLH) has established an integrated air quality monitoring system supported by 31 monitoring stations across the metropolitan area. The collected data is displayed on a public air quality monitoring platform, integrating information from DLH Jakarta, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, the World Resources Institute Indonesia, and Vital Strategies.
