Head of Seribu Islands Environment Management Office (KLH), Tiur Maeda Hutapea said the domestic waste need to be handled immediately.

" Air pollution has been started to pollute Tidung Island due to domestic waste . We need to handle it immediately before tourists feel uncomfortable," he uttered, Thursday (8/27).

Hutapea said, currently, the IPAL is only installed in Pramuka, Panggang, and Untung Jawa Island.
