From Ankara, Jakarta report, over 6 million people in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta have been affected by acute respiratory infections due to worsening air pollution, according to the country’s environment minister.
The report said that pollution in the northern districts of Jakarta has spiked to dangerous highs by midday, with real-time data from air quality apps like IQAir and public monitoring stations confirming the deteriorating conditions.
The report added that the main sources of Jakarta’s air pollution are industrial emissions and container trucks. Around 6,800 industrial chimneys are registered in the capital areas, though the actual number may be higher due to unlicensed operations.
In addition to the report, it said that the impact of pollution on health is already severe, with preliminary data indicating that over 6 million people in Jakarta have developed respiratory symptoms, including acute infections that could aggravate existing conditions. Around 6,800 industrial chimneys are registered in the capital areas, though the actual number may be higher due to unlicensed operations.
