Wood-fire heaters are a surprisingly large contributor to winter air pollution in Sydney's middle and outer rings. If Eastwood 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.
