Aerobiology Research Laboratories (ARL) analyzes pollen and spore samples to create forecasts for allergy sufferers as seen on the Weather Network, Johnson and Johnson and now through our new personalized subscription program providing you with the exact info you want and need to improve your quality of life.
Aerobiology Research Laboratories (ARL) gathers pollen and spore samples daily using the innovative ARL aeroallergen rotation impaction samplers from 30 monitoring stations across Canada.

Over 9 million Canadians suffer from seasonal allergies and close to 1 million pets (mainly dogs).
The counts, or total number of particles per cubic meter of air sampled for each identified particle type, are stored in our ever-growing data warehouse. This database allows us to query and summarize current and historical allergen levels in a flexible and efficient manner, supporting our research and forecasting operations as well as the data needs of our clients.
This data provides valuable information in creating pollen and spore forecasts, development of medications and public education .
