ANALYSIS OF AIR POLLUTION DATA IN 10 REGIONS OF INDONESIA YEAR 2026

Abstract

Air pollution is a significant environmental issue affecting public health and ecosystem sustainability. This study aims to analyze air pollution levels across ten regions in Indonesia in 2026 and to identify factors contributing to regional variations. The research employs a literature review method using secondary data from official reports and scientific sources, analyzed descriptively through regional comparisons. The results reveal notable disparities in pollution levels, with Ambon City showing the lowest value (15; 7.11%) and Bengkalis Regency the highest (27; 12.80%). Other regions fall into low to high categories depending on factors such as industrial activity, transportation, population density, and geographical conditions. In conclusion, air pollution levels vary significantly across regions and are strongly influenced by human activities. Therefore, integrated efforts are required to control pollution and support environmental sustainability.
