Article 21

Member States may designate zones or agglomerations within which limit values for PM_(10) are exceeded in ambient air due to the re-suspension of particulates following winter-sanding or -salting of roads. Member States shall send the Commission lists of any such zones or agglomerations together with information on concentrations and sources of PM_(10) therein. When informing the Commission in accordance with Article 27, Member States shall provide the necessary evidence to demonstrate that any exceedances are due to re-suspended particulates and that reasonable measures have been taken to lower the concentrations. Without prejudice to Article 20, in the case of zones and agglomerations referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, Member States need to establish the air quality plan provided for in Article 23 only in so far as exceedances are attributable to PM_(10) sources other than winter-sanding or -salting of roads. The Commission shall by 11 June 2010 publish guidelines for determination of contributions from the re-suspension of particulates following winter-sanding or -salting of roads.
