JAKARTA - Minister of Environment (LH) Hanif Faisol Nurofiq apologized for the decline in air quality that occurred and ensured that his party was trying to improve it by mapping sources in industrial areas.
"Usually entering the dry season, Jakarta's air quality will decrease. Yesterday I read in several media that has gone down, and I apologize for that," said Minister LH Hanif in a review at the Nusantara Bonded Zone (KBN) in North Jakarta, Monday, May 19.
He ensured that he would move quickly to deal with air polluting sources in Jakarta, including stoves and buoyers using coal in industrial areas such as in KBN.
The KLH dispatched a team of about 60 personnel to check and map air pollution sources in industrial areas, including the KBN which will start today, safely entering the dry season a few weeks.
In addition, his party also continues to conduct socialization to prevent land fires, especially in vulnerable areas including a number of points in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
Apart from local governments, KLH also held a dialogue with the Indonesian Palm Oil Entrepreneurs Association (Gapki) to encourage the prevention of land fires.
It is also encouraged to reduce air pollution from improving the quality of fuel oil (BBM) to reach the Euro-4 standard. This step requires coordination with other ministries/agencies.

Hanif said that his party had written to a number of ministers regarding the impact of air pollution, and the urgency to improve the quality of fuel.
"Thirty-five percent of the air pollution is contributed from motorized vehicles with such fuel," he said.
According to him, to improve the quality of fuel, it is necessary to support budget economic policies related to the authority of the Minister of Finance, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Minister of Transportation and Minister of Industry.
