In Belgium there is a surveillance network for pollen and fungal spores in the air. This network indicates the presence of allergens in the air to doctors, pharmaceutical companies and persons suffering from allergies (hay fever).

This information allows a better diagnosis and allows to take appropriate measures in periods of increased risk.

The website Airallergy of the Scientific Institute of Public Health provides information and announces an alarm for plants that can cause allergies (trees, shrubs, herbs). The website also publishes a pollen calendar.
