[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 total suspended particles (TSP) have increased in the period 2000 – 2016 in Slovenia by 12 %, 17 % and 7 %. The main source of emissions of particulate matter are households, mainly due to use of biomass for domestic heating.
