1.3 Details to be made available to the public should include at least:
the date, hour and place of the occurrence and the reasons for the occurrence, where known;
any forecasts of:
changes in concentration (improvement, stabilisation, or deterioration), together with the reasons for those changes,
the geographical area concerned,
the duration of the occurrence;
the type of population potentially sensitive to the occurrence;
the precautions to be taken by the sensitive population concerned.
The figures for Margins of Tolerance for each of the relevant pollutants given in this Schedule are calculated from those given in Annex 1 of Directive 99/30/EC. This gave a figure above the limit value for each relevant pollutant, reducing by equal annual percentages from the date of entry into force of that Directive in 1999.
