        "content": "<p>The air quality in Jakarta was recorded as unhealthy for sensitive\ngroups, prompting advice to avoid outdoor activities, according to the\nIQAir website on Monday morning, with an update at 05.00 WIB. IQAir\nrecorded Jakarta\u2019s air quality at 139 points, with a PM 2.5 pollutant\nconcentration of 51 microgrammes per cubic metre, or 10.2 times higher\nthan the World Health Organisation\u2019s (WHO) annual air quality guideline\nvalue. PM 2.5 refers to particles smaller than 2.5 microns (micrometres)\nfound in the air, including dust, smoke and soot. Long-term exposure to\nthese particles is linked to premature death, particularly in people\nwith chronic heart or lung diseases. Current health recommendations\nrelated to air quality include avoiding outdoor activities, wearing\nmasks, closing windows to keep out dirty outside air, and turning on air\npurifiers. Meanwhile, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government stated that\nthe implementation of Car Free Day on Jalan HR Rasuna Said and the\nSudirman-Thamrin area has been proven to help reduce vehicle emissions\nand lower air pollution in Jakarta. The decrease is thought to be\ninfluenced by the reduction in traffic activity in the city centre\nduring the event. The transportation sector is known to be one of the\nmain contributors to air pollution in Jakarta. Therefore, the DKI\nJakarta Provincial Government continues to encourage the reduction of\nprivate vehicle use through various policies, including the\nimplementation of Car Free Day. In addition to providing a healthier and\nmore comfortable public space for residents, the Car Free Day is also\nexpected to increase public awareness of the importance of maintaining\nair quality.<\/p>",
