  "account": "The Bogor City Government in West Java will now monitor and announce daily air quality conditions following the arrival of Mount Anak Krakatau volcanic ash in the area, according to Deputy Mayor Jenal Mutaqin. Bogor's current air quality index stands at 83, placing it in the moderate category, though Jenal hopes the index will improve in the coming days. The city will begin receiving air quality monitoring equipment from the Ministry of Environment on Monday, September 7, 2026, enabling daily updates on air conditions. Despite the present moderate status, Jenal advises the public to limit outdoor activities, particularly exercise, as a precautionary measure against ash exposure. The Bogor City Government is preparing around 250,000 masks for distribution to priority groups and is already spraying water on roads and public facilities to remove the accumulated ash. The city will also monitor potential health impacts through the Health Agency's Free Health Check (CKG) program. In response to the volcanic ash, schools have been instructed to conduct remote learning on September 7-8, 2026, to protect students from the ash's effects.",
