Environmental indicators in Slovenia


Environmental indicators are based on graphs, maps and assessments and as such present environmental trends in Slovenia. The indicators represent one of the four pillars of our environmental reporting, and are prepared in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act. The Environmental Indicators in Slovenia website enables users to browse among 180 indicators. They are based on numerical data and they indicate the state, characteristics and trends of environmental development in Slovenia. They are prepared using a systematic approach based on data and monitoring, as shown in the information pyramid.

Neutral

The total use of plant protection products (PPPs) in Slovenia has decreased by nearly two-thirds over the past 30 years — from 2,031 tons in 1992 to 733 tons in 2024. Because of the large share of permanent crops, PPP use per hectare in Slovenia remains relatively high, but comparable to other EU countries with a similar production structure. Over the last decade, Slovenia has significantly reduced the intensity of PPP use on utilised arable land and permanent crops: from an average of 6.57 kg/ha in 2000–2010 to only 3.63 kg/ha in 2024.

Bad

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.
