JAKARTA - Member of the PSI faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Justin Adrian, assessed that DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has not been serious about improving air quality in Jakarta.
This refers to the condition of Jakarta being the city with the worst air quality in the world.
The poor air quality in Jakarta has been recorded for the past few days. Meanwhile, this morning, the air quality data agency IQ Air ranked Jakarta as the most polluted city with an air quality index of 173 on Monday, June 20 at 09.35 WIB. However, he said, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government does not seem serious about dealing with it. In fact, Justin believes that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has strong financial capabilities and the ability to enforce regulations.
"Our governor seems to have forgotten about Jakarta's main problems, such as pollution, congestion, flooding, clean water, and so on, so that so far it seems as if he is just busy building bicycle lanes, painting roof tiles, or racing," Justin told reporters. , Monday, June 20.
Therefore, Justin urged the Environment Agency (DLH) to immediately increase the number of free emission tests for vehicles in Jakarta or vehicles from the Bodetabek area entering Jakarta.
"Based on BPS data in 2021, there are almost 20 million vehicles in Jakarta. This figure is very large as one of the contributors to emissions in Jakarta. We must be firm, all vehicles that produce pollutants outside the threshold should not be allowed to go," he said.
In addition, Justin also asked DLH to check the AMDAL of all factories and business premises that produce air pollution in Jakarta, including taking action against business actors who produce pollutants outside the safe limits.
"It is also necessary to cooperate with buffer zones, because air pollution has no regional boundaries," said Justin.
Launching from the official website of IQ Air in Jakarta, the air quality of the capital city is categorized as unhealthy because the concentration of PM2.5 is currently 27.4 times the annual air quality guideline value of the World Health Organization (WHO). The concentration of PM2.5 in Jakarta stands at 136.9 grams per cubic meter. PM2.5 refers to certain microscopic materials with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less, with various detrimental effects on human health and the environment, and is therefore one of the the main pollutant used in calculating the air quality of the city or the country as a whole. Based on the BMKG analysis, the high concentration of PM2.5 in Jakarta is influenced by various emission sources, both from local sources, such as transportation and residential areas, as well as from regional sources from industrial areas. close to Jakarta.
