Air quality in Botany (2019)
How clean is the air in Botany? The AQI score and annual exceedance count below reflect the air quality monitoring data for the region covering Botany 2019, sourced from the NSW EPA. Sydney's air quality is generally good by international standards, but pollution spikes during westerly wind events, summer ozone days, and winter wood-smoke seasons can affect sensitive residents.
Wood-fire heaters are a surprisingly large contributor to winter air pollution in Sydney's middle and outer rings. If Botany 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.
