Analysis
Slovenia recorded 84,043 tonnes for emissions of air pollutants in 2022.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.2% on the previous year and down 36.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emissions of air pollutants in Slovenia peaked at 2.91 million tonnes in 1977 and was at its lowest, 8,652 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Slovenia 149th out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
