[ZR15] Emissions of particulate matter
Pressures

Key message
Neutral

Total particulate matter (TSP) emissions in Slovenia decreased by 1.5% between 2000-2012. Emissions of primary particles smaller than 10 µm (PM10) and particulate matter less than 2,5 µm(PM2,5) during the same period increased by 1.5% and 15%. The main source of emissions of particulate matter are households, mainly due to the use of biomass for heating.
