Air quality in Rooty Hill (2766)

Air quality is an increasingly important factor for buyers in Rooty Hill (2766), particularly those with asthma, respiratory conditions, or young children. The data below shows the average AQI and the number of days per year on which air quality in the monitoring region exceeded the NSW standard, a figure most Sydney buyers have never seen but which varies meaningfully across the metropolitan area.

Wood-fire heaters are a surprisingly large contributor to winter air pollution in Sydney's middle and outer rings. If Rooty Hill is a cooler area where wood fires are common, winter PM2.5 readings can spike significantly above summer averages. The annualised AQI shown here averages across all seasons; buyers with respiratory sensitivity may want to check the seasonal breakdown on the EPA's Air Quality website.
