Air quality in East Ryde (2113) is measured using the NSW Environment Protection Authority's (EPA) network of monitoring stations and expressed as an Air Quality Index (AQI). The AQI combines readings for particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide into a single score. The data shown covers the monitoring region closest to East Ryde in the Ryde LGA and includes an annual summary of days exceeding safe thresholds.
Wood-fire heaters are a surprisingly large contributor to winter air pollution in Sydney's middle and outer rings. If East Ryde 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.
