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

Key message
Good

In Slovenia, total emissions of the pollutants that contribute to acidification and eutrophication have decreased by 81 % between 1990 and 2021. Emissions of SOx have decreased by 98 %, NOx by 66 % and NH3 by 22 %. The emissions of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and ammonia were in 2021 below the prescribed target values. Slovenia also met its emission reduction commitments compared to the year 2005.
