Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo officiated the first air quality monitoring station on Jl. Thamrin, Central Jakarta on Sunday.
“This is part of our way to raise the air quality. We will continue to keep on reducing the air pollution in the city,” said Fauzi.
The city spent Rp 5.5 billion (US$ 578,000) to buy the six-meter-square station. The station is equipped with various electronic tools which can measure the air pollution in the area.
“This tool helps us know the city's condition. By measuring the air pollution, we can be more encouraged to solve the problem,” he said.
Fauzi added that his administration was still trying to make preparation for mandatory emission tests.
“Everything must be prepared first," said Fauzi about the mandatory test which had been postponed several times. (mrs)
