In terms of the total region area, Banska Bystrica region was the largest region and Bratislava region was the smallest. The highest percentage of agricultural land was in Nitra region. On the other hand, Zilina region was the region with the smallest proportion of agricultural land. In terms of forest land, Zilina region enjoyed the highest percentage of it. On the contrary, Nitra region had the smallest proportion the foresi land within the territory of Slovakia. Bratislava region recorded the highest percentage of build-up land as opposed to Banska Bystrica region with the smallest build-up land proportion.

The state monitoring system covering the whole territory of Slovakia is the most important and consists of 13 Partial Monitoring Systems (PMSs).

The register is divided into 4 categories according to ihe output, size and type of the source of the emissions: REZZO 1 - stationary units for fuel combustion with a total thermal output of more than 5 MW (large pollution sources with the heaviest impact on the environment). In addition to these, selected technologies are included. This database comprises continually recorded data since 1985 with 982 facilitators of pollution sources being registered. REZZO 2 - stationary units for fuel combustion with a total thermal output of 0.2 to 5 MW (medium pollution sources with medium impact on the environment. Also include are certain selected technologies. The third data update, completed in 1996, was carried out in co-operation with environmental offices within the period 1993-1996. REZZO 3 - stationary local units for fuel combustion with small pollution sources with a total thermal output of less than 0.2 MW. This database is being annually updated with emissions calculations based on the emission factors and total fuel consumption data. REZZO 4 - mobile units, regardless of their output. The COPERT Method, recommended by 'The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (Geneva 1979) 'for its member states, is used for emission data calculation. Data for 1996 are available. Between 1996 and 1997, emission reductions in all fundamental polluting substances were recorded.
