[ZR15] Emissions of particulate matter
Pressures

Key message
Neutral

The emission of primary particles, smaller than 10 µm (PM10), particles smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and all dust particles (TSP) were in Slovenia in year 2000 – 2013 decreased for 14%, 1% and 17%. The main source of emissions of particulate matter are households, mainly because the use of biomass for heating.
