JAKARTA: Jakarta is once again relying on mist spraying to reduce air pollution in several areas across the capital, but critics have argued that spraying water does not address and may even exacerbate the persistent issue in the city.
The Jakarta Environment Agency has deployed two trucks equipped with “fog cannons” to pray 4,000 liters of mist to disperse small and hazardous particulates that pollute the city’s air.
