Where, in a given zone , conformity with the limit values for particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) or nitrogen dioxide cannot be achieved by the deadline specified in Table 1 of Section 1 of Annex I, because of site-specific dispersion characteristics, orographic boundary conditions, adverse climatic conditions or transboundary contributions, a Member State may postpone - that deadline once by a maximum of 5 years for that particular zone , if the following conditions are met:

Article 19 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
Article 19 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
Where, in given zones the levels of pollutants in ambient air exceed any limit value , laid down in Section 1 of Annex I, , Member States shall establish air quality plans for those zones as soon as possible and no later than 2 years after the calendar year during which that exceedance of any limit value was recorded. Those air quality plans shall set out appropriate measures to achieve the concerned limit value and to keep the exceedance period as short as possible, and in any case no longer than 3 years from the end of the calendar year in which the first exceedance was reported .

Article 19 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
Article 19 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
Where in a given NUTS 1 territorial unit, the levels of pollutants in ambient air exceed the ozone target value, laid down in Section 2 of Annex I, Member States shall establish air quality plans for those NUTS 1 territorial units as soon as possible and no later than 2 years after the calendar year during which the exceedance of the ozone target value was recorded. Those air quality plans shall set out appropriate measures in order to achieve the ozone target value and to keep the exceedance period as short as possible. In the event of an exceedance of the ozone target values, the preparation of a Clean Air Plan pursuant to this paragraph may be waived for territorial units at NUTS level, should Member States be able to ensure that their National Clean Air Programmes in accordance with the requirements of Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2016/2284 contain all measures necessary to address these exceedances.

(i) concentration levels in the areas within zones with the highest concentrations to which the population is likely to be directly or indirectly exposed for a period which is significant in relation to the averaging period of the limit value(s). To ensure this, the assessment of short-term air quality standards (hourly and daily means) should be designed to address associated short-term exposure situations. The assessment of long-term air quality standards (annual means) and exposure concentration obligations should mirror long-term exposure situations,
