By signing the Convention on the Protection of the Alps, Slovenia has taken a step towards reducing the threat. 
S podpisom Konvencije o varstvu Alp (Uradni list RS, št. 5/95 MP, št. 19/95) pa je narejen pozitiven korak v smeri zmanjševanja te ogroženosti.
Protected areas cover 8% of Slovenia&apos;s territory (4.2% as nature parks the Triglav National Park and the Trepèe Memorial Park). 
V Sloveniji je statusno zavarovanega 8% ozemlja (od tega 4,2% kot naravni parki Triglavski narodni park, Spominski park Trepče).
In the last two years more has been achieved in the field of nature protection the designation of the Škocjanske jame Regional Park and the Škocjanski zatok Nature Reserve. 
V zadnjih dveh letih je več rezultatov na področju varstva narave zavarovanje naravnega parka Škocjanske jame in naravnega rezervata Škocjanski zatok.
With respect to numerous natural features, approximately 30% of the territory of Slovenia should be protected. 
Glede na naravne danosti pa bi bilo potrebno zavarovati okoli 30% ozemlja države.
In recent years the problem of uncontrolled trade in nonindigenous and exotic animal species is worsening. The introduction of indigenous species may have unpredictable effects on natural ecosystems. 
V zadnjem času se zaostruje problematika povsem neobvladane trgovine (npr. trgovanje z neavtohtonimi, eksotičnimi živalskimi vrstami), vnašanje tujih vrst pa ima lahko nepredvidljive posledice v naravnih ekosistemih.
By ratifying the Convention on Biological Diversity (Rio, 1992), the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Berne, 1979) and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn, 1979), Slovenia has taken additional regulatory steps, which will need to be implemented. 
Z ratifikacijo Konvencije o biološki raznovrstnosti (Uradni list RS, št. 7/96 MP, št. 30/96), Bernske konvencije o varstvu prostoživečega evropskega rastlinstva in živalstva ter naravnih habitatov (Uradni list RS, št. 55/99 MP, št. 17/99) ter Bonnske konvencije o varstvu selitvenih vrst prostoživečih živali (Uradni list RS, št. 72/98 MP, št. 18/98), je Slovenija naredila dodaten normativni korak, ki bo zahteval tudi izvedbo v praksi.
Slovenia will soon ratify the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES (Washington, 1973). 
Čaka nas še ratifikacija Washingtonske konvencije o mednarodni trgovini z ogroženimi vrstami živali in rastlin.
With regard to the conservation of biological diversity, two more issues have to be addressed, namely, the removal of genetic material (seeds) from certain areas and the use of experimental methods not permitted in developed countries. 
V ta sklop problematike sodi tudi iznos genskega materiala (semen) in opravljanja poizkusov na način, ki v razvitih državah ni dovoljen.
One of Slovenia&apos;s distinctive features is its landscape diversity. It is characterised by various geographic regions and land use categories and reflects the lifestyle of our predecessors. 
Ena od prepoznavnih značilnosti Slovenije je tudi krajinska raznovrstnost, ki se je izoblikovala na stiku naravnih pokrajinskih enot, kot posledica rabe prostora in načina življenja naših prednikov.
Traditional farming induced the development of specific secondary habitats, which are of exceptional importance for the conservation of biological diversity. 
Tradicionalno kmetovanje je povzročilo nastanek določenih tipov drugotnih habitatov, ki imajo tudi izreden pomen pri ohranjanju biotske raznovrstnosti.
Characteristic landscape diversity is threatened by the abandonment of certain agricultural activities in some regions (mown grasslands and pastures in the karst region, mountain pastures) and by the intensification of agricultural production, which change the landscape and biological diversity (disappearing of humid and dry grasslands). 
Značilno krajinsko raznovrstnost ogroža opuščanje kmetijske rabe na nekaterih območjih (kraške košenice in pašniki, visokogorski pašniki in intenzifikacija kmetijske proizvodnje), zaradi česar se spreminjata videz krajine in biotska raznovrstnost (izginjanje mokrotnih in suhih travišč).
Unregulated spatial policy and town planning, changes in farming and re-orientation from agriculture to other activities (e.g. tourism) have a detrimental impact on landscape diversity. 
Na drugi strani je raznovrstnost krajine pod pritiskom posledic neurejene prostorske politike in urbanizma, sprememb v načinu kmetovanja ter preusmerjanja iz kmetijstva v druge panoge (npr. turizem).
Large construction projects (the motorway network) present a special problem. They have direct (degradation of the landscape, intersecting animal migration routes) as well as potential impacts on the environment (improved accessibility of the remote parts). 
Poseben problem so veliki posegi v prostor (avtocestni križ) in to s svojim neposrednim vplivom (degradacija krajine, sekanje biokoridorjev) kot tudi s potencialnim vplivom na prostor, zaradi objektivno izboljšane dostopnosti in težav, ki izvirajo iz tega.
Slovenia is rich in non-living natural elements (minerals, fossils) and geo-morphological and hydrological phenomena composing an assemblage of natural features (gorges, caves, waterfalls, etc.). 
Slovenija je bogata z elementi nežive narave (minerali, fosili), z geomorfološkimi in hidrološkimi pojavi, ki tvorijo fond naravnih vrednot (soteske, jame, slapovi itd.).
Their attractiveness promotes the rapid development of various activities, which leads to encroachments on the most vulnerable areas and poses a threat to biodiversity. 
Njihova atraktivnost je podlaga za hiter razvoj različnih dejavnosti, ki temeljijo na izkoriščanju tega fenomena, to pa je povezano s posegi na praviloma najobčutljivejša področja, posledica česar je ogrožanje temeljnega fenomena samega ter biotske raznovrstnosti.
Waste management. 
Ravnanje z odpadki.
Waste management is one of the problems which has not been solved in a satisfactory manner. 
Ravnanje z odpadki je ena najslabše rešenih nalog v okviru varstva okolja v Sloveniji.
The disposal of waste at local (municipal) landfills is more or less the only possible method of managing urban and most industrial waste. Often the location of these landfills is inappropriate, they do not meet the technical requirements (unsealed, no gas drainage, exposed to floods, close to groundwater, etc.) and are mostly full. 
Odlaganje na lokalne (občinske) deponije je praktično edina možnost ravnanja s komunalnimi in pretežno tudi z industrijskimi odpadki, pri čemer pa so ta odlagališča pogosto neprimerno locirana, tehnično neustrezna (netesnjena, neodplinjena, poplavna oz. v dosegu talnih vod...), povrh vsega pa že pretežno zapolnjena.
There are between 50 000 and 60 000 illegal waste dumps in Slovenia. 
V Sloveniji je 50.00060.000 divjih odlagališč odpadkov.
One of the consequences of inappropriate waste management is the excessive release of methane from landfills, representing approximately 5% of the overall emission of greenhouse gases in Slovenia. 
Posledica neustreznega ravnanja z odpadki je tudi prekomerno sproščanje metana iz odlagališč odpadkov, kar prispeva okoli 5% k celotni emisiji toplogrednih plinov v Sloveniji.
Many landfills operate without proper documentation or have no legal status. 
Mnogo deponij nima ustrezne dokumentacije in urejenega pravnega statusa.
The separate collection of household wastes is organised only in some municipalities. 
Ločeno zbiranje komunalnih odpadkov po gospodinjstvih imajo organizirano le v nekaterih občinah.
The problem of processing the waste collected separately has not been solved satisfactorily. 
Problem predelave ločeno zbranih odpadkov ni ustrezno rešen.
Industry frequently disposes its waste together with urban waste. Some companies, though, have their own mono-disposal sites for specific types of hazardous waste, e.g. sites for disposal of tailings, slag and cinders. 
Industrija največkrat odlaga svoje odpadke skupaj s komunalnimi, razen v posameznih primerih, ko imajo podjetja svoja odlagališča za nekatere vrste nevarnih odpadkov ali posamezne monodeponije, npr. halde za razne jalovine, žlindre in pepele.
The export of specific types of hazardous waste (e.g. waste paints, varnishes, solvents, etc.) in accordance with the procedures of the Basle Convention is for many industrial branches the only option. 
Izvoz nekaterih vrst nevarnih odpadkov (npr. stare barve, laki, topila...) v skladu s postopki Baselske konvencije (Uradni list RS, št. 48/93 MP, št. 15/93) je za marsikatero vejo industrije edina možnost.
Some companies have their own incineration facilities which are used in their technological processes. 
Nekatera podjetja imajo lastne sežigne naprave kot del tehnoloških postopkov.
Owing to the public opposition, waste is rarely incinerated in industrial facilities, although there are many environmentally sound possibilities for that (e.g. cement kilns). 
Sežiga odpadkov v industrijskih termičnih procesih je zaradi odpora javnosti malo, čeprav so ekološko sprejemljive tehnične možnosti za to velike (npr. cementne peči).
The collection of certain secondary raw materials has a relatively long tradition and has been quite successful. However, with the loss of former Yugoslav markets the trade in secondary raw materials decreased (the 1994/89 index is 65). 
Zbiranje nekaterih sekundarnih surovin v industriji in komunali je razmeroma tradicionalno in uspešno, čeprav se je zaradi izgube trga nekdanje Jugoslavije promet s sekundarnimi surovinami nekoliko zmanjšal (indeks 1994/89 znaša 65%).
Among the collected raw materials iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, glass, paper, textiles and plastic prevail. 
Najuspešnejše je zbiranje železa, jekla, barvnih kovin, stekla, papirja, tekstila in plastike.
The bulk of these materials is generated and collected in industry, the municipal share being fairly small. 
Glavni delež teh materialov nastaja in se zbere v industriji, komunala prispeva malo.
The collection of certain types of urban waste, which are collected and recycled effectively in the EU, has not yet been organised in Slovenia, e.g. aluminium cans and PET bottles (beverage bottling), packaging styrofoam, wooden crates for fruit and vegetables, old clothes, household appliances, apparatuses containing electronic circuits, old cars, etc. 
Za nekatere vrste komunalnih odpadkov, ki jih v EU že zelo učinkovito zbirajo in reciklirajo, pri nas še nimamo urejenega zbiranja, npr. aluminijaste pločevinke, polietilenske plastenke (oboje embalaža za pijače), embalažni stiropor, lesene gajbice za sadje/zelenjavo, odpadna oblačila, belo tehniko, aparate, ki vsebujejo elektronska vezja, stare avtomobile itd.
Packaging waste will have to be reduced radically in the near future to meet the requirements of EU directive on packaging and packaging waste (94/62/EC). 
Embalažni del odpadkov se bo v bližnji prihodnosti moral radikalno zmanjšati zaradi uveljavljanja nove smernice EU o embalaži (CD 94/62 EC, 1994).
The collection and sorting of hazardous components mixed with urban waste (car and other batteries, waste pesticides, waste paints and organic solvents, discarded medicines, etc.) has just begun. 
Na začetku je zbiranje in sortiranje nevarnih komponent, ki so pomešane med komunalne odpadke (baterije in akumulatorji, ostanki pesticidov, stare barve in organska topila, stara zdravila ipd).
The system for managing collected materials until they are destroyed or recycled has not yet been set up. 
Ni še definiran sistem za ravnanje z zbranimi materiali do dokončnega uničenja oziroma reciklaže.
The Waste Management Strategy of the Republic of Slovenia Problems and Specific Issues in Approximation to the EU27 (adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia on 1 August 1996) is an important step towards the improvement of the current state. It defines basic guidelines and objectives in the field of waste management and grades possible waste management methods. In the Strategy economic development and the process of integration into European Union are taken into account. 
Pomemben korak v smeri izboljšanja stanja predstavlja dokument Strateške usmeritve Slovenije na področju ravnanja z odpadki Problemi in specifičnost pri približevanju Evropi (sprejet na Vladi RS 1. avgusta 1996) s katerim so opredeljene osnovne usmeritve in cilji na področju odpadkov ter hierarhija možnih načinov ravnanja z odpadki, ob upoštevanju razvoja gospodarstva in vključevanja v evropske integracijske procese.
The Strategy is a constituent part of the NEAP, which in its programme section merely summarises the main objectives, measures and orientations. 
Strateške usmeritve so sestavni del NPVO, ki v programskem delu samo povzema bistvene cilje in usmeritve ter ukrepe za izboljšanje stanja.
Radiation. 
Sevanja.
The main source of ionising radiation in the environment is radioactive waste. 
Ionizirna sevanja v širšem okolju se pojavljajo predvsem zaradi odpadnih radioaktivnih materialov.
Spent fuel from Krško nuclear plant is the only high-level waste generated in Slovenia. It is stored in a special spent fuel pool, the size of which permits storage until 2005. Intermediate- and low-level waste from Krško nuclear plant is in special casks, also at the nuclear plant. 
Od visokoradioaktivnih odpadkov v Sloveniji redno nastajajo izgoreli gorivni elementi v Nuklearni elektrarni Krško (NEK), ki se hranijo v posebnem vodnem bazenu; njegova velikost omogoča shranjevanje do leta 2005. Tudi srednje in nizkoradioaktivni odpadki iz NEK se shranjujejo pri povzročitelju in sicer v posebnih sodih.
Krško nuclear plant is the only facility which permanently monitors the radiological pollution in the surrounding area. 
NEK ima, kot edini objekt v Sloveniji, stalni monitoring radiološke onesnaženosti okolice.
The Žirovski Vrh uranium mine has disposed 660 000 tonnes of tailings at the Boršt landfill, posing a radiological threat to water sources. 
Rudnik urana Žirovski vrh ima na deponiji Boršt 660 kt jalovine, ki radiološko ogroža vodne izvire.
A lot of contaminated material and equipment is stored in the mine itself and in the processing units. 
Precej kontaminiranih materialov in opreme se nahaja tudi v rudniku oz. predelovalnih obratih.
Hospitals, institutes, industry and others store their low- and intermediate-level waste in temporary storage facilities (long-lived isotopes in Podgorica, illegal storage in Zavratec...) until the rate of decay is within the limits permissible for the waste to be disposed together with urban waste (short-lived isotopes). 
Tudi drugi povzročitelji (bolnišnice, inštituti, industrija...) hranijo nizko in srednjeradioaktivne odpadke v prehodnih skladiščih (dolgoživi izotopi v Podgorici, ilegalno skladišče v Zavratcu...) dokler razpad ni v okviru dopustnega za odlaganje med komunalne odpadke (kratkoživi izotopi).
Radioactive substances (especially iodine isotopes) in wastewaters from hospitals (especially the Medical Centre, Ljubljana), which are discharged into the river Ljubljanica without prior treatment present a special problem. 
Poseben problem so radioaktivne snovi (predvsem izotopi joda) v odpadnih vodah iz bolnišnic (predvsem Klinični center Ljubljana), ki se neprečiščene izpuščajo v Ljubljanico in jo radiološko močno onesnažujejo.
The bodies responsible for the management of ionising radiation are the Nuclear Safety Administration of the Republic of Slovenia and the Agency for Radioactive Waste. 
Nosilca dejavnosti obvladovanja ionizirnih sevanj sta Uprava republike Slovenije za jedrsko varnost ter Agencija za radioaktivne odpadke.
Non-ionising radiation in the environment is mainly the result of the operation of various installations (high-voltage power lines, transformer stations, radio transmitters, radars, monitors, etc.). 
V okolju se neionizirna sevanja pojavljajo predvsem kot posledica delovanja raznih naprav (električni visokonapetostni daljnovodi, transformatorske postaje, RTV-oddajniki, radarji, monitorji...).
Their impact on the residential and living environment has in Slovenia not yet been determined. 
Njihov vpliv na bivalno in življenjsko okolje se pri nas še ne ugotavlja.
In 1994 the Resolution on combating the harmful effects of non-ionising radiation (EP doc A3-238/94) was issued by the European Parliament. The corresponding decree was in Slovenia issued in 1996. 
Evropska unija (EU) je leta 1994 izdala resolucijo o ugotavljanju in preprečevanju škodljivih učinkov elektromagnetnih sevanj (A3-0238/94), ustrezna uredba je bila v Sloveniji izdana leta 1996.
Light pollution caused by outdoor night lighting from various sources has recently become a special problem. Such pollution has unfavourable effects on certain plant and animal species. 
V zadnjem času se kot poseben problem pojavlja svetlobno onesnaževanje, ki ga povzroča osvetlitev naravnega okolja v nočnem času iz različnih izvorov in zaradi katere prihaja do neželenih vplivov na posamezne rastlinske in živalske vrste.
The living environment in Slovenia is not heavily polluted by noise. 
Zunanje življenjsko okolje Slovenije je zmerno obremenjeno s hrupom.
The main sources of noise are traffic and industry. 
Povzročajo ga predvsem promet in proizvodne dejavnosti.
Quiet vehicle development, the reduction of traffic speed and density (e.g. at night-time), the construction of new roads away from residential areas and the installation of anti-noise barriers (roads, railways, industry) have positive effects on the reduction of the average level of noise pollution. 
Razvoj manj hrupnih prometnih sredstev, omejevanje hitrosti vožnje in gostote prometa (npr. v nočnem času), gradnja novih prometnic, odmaknjenih od bivališč, namestitev protihrupne zaščite na hrupne objekte (ceste, železnice, industrija), ugodno vplivajo na zmanjševanje povprečne obremenitve s hrupom.
The main problem are outdated vehicles, old roads, roads in residential areas and the increase in personal and goods transport. 
Problemi se kažejo v starih prometnih sredstvih na starih prometnicah, speljanih praviloma skozi naselja, in povečevanje osebnega in tovornega prometa.
Slovenian regulations governing noise in the natural and living environment are fairly harmonised with generally recognised foreign norms. With regard to the noise at workplaces, Slovenia lags behind the EU. 
Naši predpisi so za hrup v naravnem in življenjskem okolju dokaj usklajeni s splošno priznanimi tujimi normami, medtem ko pri hrupu na delovnih mestih zaostajamo za razvojem v EU.
Environmental risk. 
Okoljska tveganja.
Increased production, transport and distribution of chemicals and fuels, i.e. substances that threaten human health and burden the ecosystems, pose a permanent risk of accidents (discharges of hazardous substances into watercourses and underground, emissions of harmful substances into the air, inappropriate management or disposal of hazardous and nuclear waste, transport of fuels, hazardous substances and wastes, etc.). 
Naraščajoča ekonomska aktivnost, povezana s proizvodnjo, transportom in distribucijo kemikalij in goriv oz. snovi, ki potencialno ogrožajo zdravje ljudi in obremenjujoče vplivajo na ekosisteme, pomeni tudi neprestano nevarnost nesreč (izpusti nevarnih snovi v vodotoke in v podtalje, emisije škodljivih snovi v zrak, neustrezno ravnanje ali dispozicija nevarnih in jedrskih odpadkov, prevozi goriv, nevarnih snovi in odpadkov itd.).
Slovenia has ratified the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal. 
Slovenija je ratificirala Baselsko konvencijo o nadzoru gibanja nevarnih odpadkov preko meja ter njihovega odlaganja (Uradni list RS, št. 48/93 MP, št.
Slovenia will also ratify the Helsinki Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents. 
Predvidena je ratifikacija Helsinške konvencije o prekomejnih vplivih industrijskih nesreč.
Environment and health. 
Okolje in zdravje.
Environmental pollution (polluted air, excessive noise, consumption of polluted drinking water, inappropriate waste management and exposure to ionising and non-ionising radiation) leads to the emergence of numerous diseases. 
Onesnaženo okolje (onesnažen zrak, prekomeren hrup, uživanje onesnažene pitne vode, neustrezno ravnanje z odpadki ter izpostavljenost ionizirajočemu in neionizirajočemu sevanju) vpliva na nastanek številnih bolezni in bolezenskih stanj.
The most susceptible are sick persons, children and older people. 
Posebej ogrožene so občutljive skupine prebivalcev (bolniki, otroci in starejši ljudje).
The greatest problem is polluted air, major pollutants being sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ozone and particulates. 
Največji problem je onesnažen zrak, kjer so glavne snovi, ki onesnažujejo žveplov dioksid, dušikovi oksidi, ogljikov monoksid, ozon in trdni delci.
In Slovenia data on the prevalence or mortality due to polluted air are not collected systematically. 
Celovitih podatkov o obolevnosti oziroma umrljivosti, ki je posledica onesnaženega zraka, še ne zbiramo sistematično.
The pollution of drinking water and the intake of various pollutants are serious health-care problems owing to the size of the population affected. 
Onesnaženost pitne vode in vnos različnih polutantov v organizem je, zaradi velikosti prizadete populacije, pomemben zdravstveni problem.
In recent years the physico-chemical analyses of drinking water have shown that the situation has deteriorated, especially in the large water supply systems. 
V zadnjem času kažejo rezultati fizikalno-kemičnih analiz na poslabšanje, posebno v vodovodnih sistemih, ki preskrbujejo veliko število ljudi.
The important environmental factors affecting human health also include excessive noise, radiation and indoor air pollution. 
Od dejavnikov okolja, ki vplivajo na zdravje, so pomembni še čezmeren hrup, sevanje in onesnaženost zraka v zaprtih prostorih.
The data on these factors are scarce, except for radon. 
Podatki o teh dejavnikih, razen za radon, so skromni.
3.2 Expected Changes and Problems 
3.2 Pričakovane spremembe in problemi
The outcome of the restructuring of production and of the change in consumption patterns is unknown, therefore it is difficult to predict the future state of the environment issues and related problems. 
Napoved pričakovanih stanj in problemov v okolju je zaradi neznank, povezanih s procesom preoblikovanja proizvodnje in potrošnje, težko določljiva.
According to the estimates referred to in the Strategy for Economic Development of Slovenia, the rapid economic growth will also affect the level of pollution of the environment. 
Po ocenah iz Strategije gospodarskega razvoja Slovenije, ki jo je obravnaval tudi Državni zbor (EPA 1107, Poročevalec 19/95) bo predvidena hitra gospodarska rast vplivala na raven onesnaženosti(17) okolja(18).
This prognosis shows the significance of technological modernisation for the reduction of environmental burden and for the wise use of natural resources. 
Te prognoze opozarjajo na pomen tehnološke prenove v funkciji zmanjšanja obremenitev okolja ter smotrne rabe naravnih virov.
Active environmental protection policies affect economic growth in various ways. 
Ekonomski učinki aktivne politike varstva okolja na gospodarsko rast so večstranski.
The costs of rehabilitation and payments of environmental protection taxes will hinder some and promote other activities. 
Po eni strani bodo stroški sanacije in plačila okoljevarstvenih dajatev zavrli nekatere, po drugi strani pa vzpodbudili druge dejavnosti.
Environmental protection and economic development are two objectives which are strategically interdependent. 
Varovanje okolja in gospodarski razvoj sta cilja, ki se na strateški ravni vzajemno podpirata.
The tendency of gradual approximation to the production structure of small developed European countries is reflected in the increased share of service activities at the expense of industry and partly agriculture. 
Tendenca postopnega približevanja proizvodni strukturi razvitih malih evropskih držav se kaže v povečanem deležu storitvenih dejavnosti na račun zmanjšanja obsega industrije in delno kmetijstva.
