The values of Table 1 may be multiplied by a factor of up to 2 in mountain areas and around agglomerations to the extent that it is justified by lower dispersion, the gradient of roads, altitude or temperature inversions. If there is scientific evidence for a higher mountain or agglomeration factor, this reference value can be increased based on a detailed justification.
