Air quality in big cities like Jakarta and its surroundings is starting to become unwelcoming, to the point of disrupting people’s lives.
In fact, in June 2022, Jakarta was named the area with the first worst air quality in the world. Meanwhile, good air quality is essential, especially for children and the elderly.
Nowadays, when people consider travelling, they think about the air quality of their vacation destinations. Tourist destinations have to not only be beautiful and Instagrammable but have also cool and uncontaminated air.
