[ZR15] Emissions of particulate matter
Pressures

Key message
Neutral

In the period 2000–2014, the emission of primary particles smaller than 10 µm (PM10), particles smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and all dust particles (TSP) in Slovenia decreased by 15%, 5% and 22%, respectively. The main source of emissions of particulate matter is households, mainly due to using biomass for heating.
