One option +might+ be to try to code something like Conky to give you an
updated reading of Belgium air quality.

Not certain of this mind, so be sure to check out the docs at:
http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html It is quite
configurable, and if all you want is just an output, Conky may well have
the facility to host that for you on the desktop without enabling the
whole desktop as a web.

Thanks. Good idea. I'll try it, if I have some spare time.
