Air Quality in Central Kalimantan Reaches Hazardous Levels
Air quality in the Central Kalimantan region was reported to be the worst in Indonesia on Monday morning, September 7, 2026. Based on Air Pollution Standard Index (ISPU) data at 08:00 WIB, the region recorded a figure of 479.
An ISPU figure of 479 falls into the hazardous category for public health. This extremely high level of pollution can have adverse effects on the respiratory health and well-being of residents who are active outdoors.
In addition to Central Kalimantan, the West Kalimantan region also recorded quite high air pollution levels at the same time. This condition indicates a significant decline in air quality in the Kalimantan region due to haze.
Local governments and relevant agencies are expected to take immediate preventive measures to protect public health. Residents are urged to reduce outdoor activities and wear masks if they must travel.
This air quality situation will continue to be monitored by the authorities. Residents are expected to keep following the latest information from local health authorities to remain safe during this period of poor air quality.
