JAKARTA Based on IQAIR data, the air quality in Jakarta during Eid al-Adha 1444 Hijri looks improving, and is in 26th position in the city with the worst air quality and city pollution in the world. "The capital city's air quality is relatively improving during the Eid al-Adha holiday and long weekends," said DKI Jakarta Environment Agency (DLH) Spokesperson Yogi Ikhwan, Antara, Thursday, June 29. The decline in the rating, Yogi said because the mobility of private vehicles in DKI Jakarta is relatively reduced. "We can maintain that rating if we switch to public transportation," said Yogi.
