Can Jakarta reduce pollution?<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
The air quality in Jakarta gives cause for concern. The
\ncapital city, with an area of only 560 square kilometers, has 9.5
\nmillion inhabitants. It is ranked third among countries in the
\nworld with the highest level of pollution. At least 70 percent of
\nJakarta's air pollution is caused by the gas emission of motor
\nvehicles.<\/p>\n
The high mobility of motor vehicles in Jakarta increases
\npollution. It is aggravated by the additives contained in the
\nfuel. The pollution is a major hazard for our health.<\/p>\n
Vehicle owners should be aware of the condition and,
\naccordingly, maintain their vehicles properly in order to reduce
\ndust particles, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide from gas
\nemissions.<\/p>\n
Only by doing so can we ensure the health of all Jakarta
\nresidents. According to the World Bank, the reduction of various
\nhazardous material from gas emissions will lessen the death risk.
\nIt will also be a sizable reduction of medical expenses.<\/p>\n
When will it not be necessary to cover our nose when we are
\nbehind a motor vehicle in order to avoid the dark exhaust fumes
\nof vehicles like city buses? When will the air be clean and
\nhealthy? The reply is when people, including public vehicle
\nowners, are ready to maintain their motor vehicles.<\/p>\n
