Total emissions of the pollutants that contribute to acidification and eutrophication have decreased by 74% in Slovenia between 1990 and 2013. Emissions of SOx have decreased by 94 %, NOx by 32 % and NH3 by 23%. The emissions of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and ammonia in 2013 were lower than the prescribed value. Comparisson of emissions per capita in EU-28 for the year 2013 ranks Slovenia to the 12th place in the EU-28 and exceedes the EU average.
