Emissions of primary particles smaller than 10 µm (PM10), particles smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5), and all total suspended particles (TSP) decreased in Slovenia in the period 2000–2023 by 26 %, 36 %, and 11 %, respectively. The main source of particulate matter emissions are households, mainly due to the use of biomass for domestic heating.

In most aquifers in Slovenia, levels of plant protection products and their degradation products (metabolites) indicate a decreasing trend, which is mainly due to the decreased concentrations of atrazine and its metabolite desethylatrazine. The number of individual active substances and their degradation products exceeding the 0.1 µg/l threshold value for individual active substances is also decreasing.
