Acidification of forests represents a potential danger only in the non-hydrocarbon part of Slovenia, especially in the east of the country. According to rough estimates, the critical loads occur particularly in the wider area of both major thermals (Zasavje, Celjska kotlina and Šaleška dolina). Excessive eutrophication of forests for deposition from the air does not take looming forest areas in Slovenia.

According to the state of epiphytic lichens, the preservation of forests and air quality is poor in the entire territory of the Republic of Slovenia, except in forests at higher altitude in the Alps and partially in the Dinaric mountain range.

The number of available beds and of overnight stays, in particular, have been growing constantly during the period in question (1992-2009). Tourist bed occupancy rates were highest during the summer months, when the majority of tourists visit seaside tourist resorts, with a slightly smaller share visiting mountain and health resorts. During the winter season, health resorts record the highest number of overnight stays.

In 2008, the trend of reducing annual quantities of deposited waste continued both in landfills that are part of public infrastructure as well in landfills operated by the industry. In 2008, 835.3 thousand tonnes of waste were deposited on landfills belonging to public infrastructure and 207.8 thousand tonnes were deposited on landfills operated by industry.
