[ZR09] Emissions of substances that cause acidification and eutrophication
Pressures

Key message
Good

The total emissions of the pollutants that contribute to acidification and eutrophication decreased by 75% in Slovenia in the period 1990–2014. Emissions of SOx decreased by 96%, NOx by 42% and NH3 by 20%. In 2014, emissions of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and ammonia were below the prescribed target values.
