Air pollution with PM10 was on average lower in 2020 than in previous years. The number of exceedances of the daily limit value for PM10 (50 ug/m3) surpassed allowed number of exceedances (35) only at one monitoring site in mainland Slovenia, and at this monitoring site two out of thirty-six exceedances are due to desert dust, which according to legislation is considered as natural source of pollution and is not taken into account with prescribed quality standards. The annual limit value for PM10 and PM2.5 particles was not exceeded at any monitoring site. Less polluted air with particles is the result of favorable meteorological conditions that prevailed in the winter period of the year. These allowes the dilution of emissions from small combustion plants and traffic, which are the main sources of PM10 particles emissions in Slovenia. Despite the fact that in recent years there has been a noticeable trend of decreasing particulate matter levels, occasionally, especially in adverse weather conditions, we still measure levels that pose a risk to our health.
