In 2016 and 2017, the trend of reducing specific emissions of new vehicles has stopped, and in 2018 and 2019 they have even increased. After a 10% reduction in 2020, the specific emissions of new vehicles remained almost unchanged in 2021, falling short of the target set for that year. In 2022, the specific emissions of new vehicles decreased again, by 6%.

In 2021, for the first time since 2016, the average emissions of all vehicles increased slightly in comparison to the previous year. Target values have not been achieved.

In most aquifers in Slovenia, levels of plant protection products and their degradation products (metabolites) indicate a decreasing trend, which is mainly due to the decreased concentrations of atrazine and its metabolite desethylatrazine. The number of individual active substances and their degradation products exceeding the 0.1 µg/l threshold value for individual active substances is also decreasing.
