§ III — The Three Worst, Last 30 Days

Where the air is most consistently bad.

Three sensors with the highest mean PM2.5 over the last thirty days. The number on the left is the rolling mean against the WHO 5 µg/m³ annual guideline; the sparkline is the daily trace. Click any card to open the full historical record. The earlier silenced sensors live on the History page.

§ IV — The Long Read

Why this matters — the full evidence brief.

Live readings answer what's in the air right now. The evidence brief answers the harder question: why has Bali been left with so little visibility over its own air, and what will it take to fix it? A dossier of monitors, gaps, and the regulatory turning point of April 2026.

Section I / IX
92%
of days at the Kopernik sensor (Oct '25 – Mar '26) exceeded the WHO 24-hour PM2.5 guideline before it went offline.
§ V — The Practical Guide

What would actually help — the solutions guide.

The technology to fix Bali's waste-and-air problem already exists, and Gianyar — on the same island — has already shown what order to build it in. A practical guide to the tools that work, the four-step sequence, and a single funding proposal that could settle the bill in a year.

Dispatch VI
~68%
organic share of Bali's household waste — the single biggest lever. Divert it, and the burn pile shrinks dramatically.
§ VI — The Data Review

Ninety days of data — on the island's garbage fires.

Two thousand sensor-days across seven networks, read end to end. The record keeps house hours — a spike at nine in the morning, a second climb after dark, everywhere on the island at once. That is the schedule of household waste fires, not of any harvest. And this dry season is running dirtier than last year's.

Dispatch VII
100%
of days since June exceeded the WHO 24-hour guideline at the one sensor with a two-year record — up from 92% in the same window last year.
