[ZD29] Population exposure to ozone
Impacts

Key message
Bad

In the period 2002-2020, the highest exposure to ozone concentrations were detected in the Primorska region in summer where air quality measuring stations in Koper and Nova Gorica detected highest ozone concentrations in ambient air. There are some differences from year to year in a level of ozone exposure due to meteorological conditions in the warm half of the year and other regional characteristics.

Note:

Due to the up-date of the measuring network, ozone measurements at some measuring stations have been not completed, e.g.the Iskrba measuring station. Measurements at the measuring station in Hrastnik have been abandoned, and from June 2020 on, measurements at the Novo mesto measuring station have started anew. At these measuring stations, therefore, there is no data for the whole year and these are only informative or have not yet been shown.
