[ZR09] Emissions of acidifying and eutrophying substances
Pressures

Key message
Good

Emissions of gases causing acidification and eutrophication in the period 1990 - 2009 decreased by 72%, primarily due to the reduction of SO2 emissions. Comparison of emissions per capita ranks Slovenia on the 15th place in the EU-27.
