In Slovenia, between 2012 and 2022, 1 to 3 waterborne outbreaks were reported annually, except in the years 2015 and 2017–2020, when no outbreaks were reported. In individual outbreaks, between 3 and 355 cases were reported. In about half of these outbreaks, the causative agent was not identified. Confirmed causative agents included Cryptosporidium parvum, Escherichia coli, rotavirus, norovirus, Bacillus cereus, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Francisella tularensis.

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.
