“…Pengendalian polusi udara membutuhkan upaya gabungan dari pemerintah, industri, dan masyarakat. Regulasi ketat pada emisi industri, pembatasan penggunaan kendaraan bermotor, dan promosi energi bersih adalah beberapa cara untuk mengurangi polusi udara (Hunter, 2020). Kesadaran masyarakat juga penting dalam memerangi masalah ini.…”

Air pollution in DKI Jakarta Province has reached alarming levels, threatening the health and quality of life of millions of residents and damaging the integrity of national defense preparedness. As the capital and center of Indonesian government, Jakarta plays an important role in the country's defense and security structure. This research was conducted to understand and evaluate the complex impacts of air pollution, which relate not only to public health but also to defense readiness. Through empirical data analysis, interviews with stakeholders, and the application of geospatial intelligence from satellite imagery, this research found various variables that correlate between air pollution, public health, and defense readiness. One of the main findings is that high levels of air pollution have a significant impact on public health conditions, which in turn can disrupt the country's defense readiness. Therefore, these results demonstrate the need for comprehensive and coordinated mitigation actions between various parties, including the provincial government, central government, and the military. These policies and actions should focus on protecting public health, preserving critical military infrastructure, and preparing the country to face additional challenges that may arise, such as climate change. In an increasingly interconnected and complex global context, this research highlights the urgency for a more holistic approach to addressing the problem of air pollution and its multifaceted impacts

In the process of urbanisation, the lack of attention to environmental issues has led to air pollution becoming more and more serious, with more and more cities experiencing haze and even extreme weather phenomena, posing a huge threat to people's health. Although more and more countries are paying attention to the problem of urban air pollution, they are still not receiving good results. This paper analyses the causes of urban air pollution from the perspective of industrial structure, urbanisation and other aspects, and proposes some measures to solve the problem.

“…Air pollution-caused health problems, primarily in the form of PM 2.5 , have been a growing public health concern, and are considered to be a consequence of social economic development driven by urbanization and industrialization. Hence, air pollution greatly affects human health and social development [1]. PM 2.5 has an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to 2.5 microns.…”

PM2.5 has an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to 2.5 microns due to its inherent physical and chemical properties so that it can enter the alveoli through the respiratory tract for blood gas exchange. Numerous studies have shown that PM2.5 is a serious air pollutant that poses a wide range of health risks, especially for cancer. Bibliometric methods were employed to have comprehensively analyzed the research of PM2.5 in cancer for about a decade in Web of Science to identify hotspots and trends using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R. The field has undergone overall growth in the past decade. As research on PM2.5 in health deepens, cancer related to it expanded beyond the respiratory system to the digestive system, urinary system, female gonadal axis, breast cancer and other cancers. Another observation is that research on PM2.5 in cancer has progressed in the mechanisms of deterioration, such as the role of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer. In addition, research on the risks of PM2.5 in combination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals has also emerged. Results showed that there are relatively more studies on PM2.5 in high-latitude countries, which may be due to different national conditions, such as climate and coal combustion. Our research has combed through the progress of PM2.5 in cancer research and provided a supplement for developing pollution prevention ideas with different national conditions in this field.

The health toll of air pollution

Abstract: Air pollution may have well surpassed smoking as a cause of disease and death. Stricter limits are necessary to further reduce its ill effects on public health.
