Abstract
After World War II industrial production in Celje started to develop intensively. The desire for progress and affluence was so strong that no attention was paid to the damage that was being caused to the environment. In Celje there was a considerable number of qualified people with the right qualifications, ranging from skilled manual workers to highly educated experts. However, the geographical position of the town was not suitable for the development of chemical, textile, timber and metal industries or iron works. Thus, the industrialisation and urbanisation caused extensive pollution of air, surface water, drinking water and soil. The growing environmental problems in the town required an improvement in the strategies to combat pollution. As a result, we have gained experience in the monitoring of pollution and the measures taken to reduce environmental pollution, as well as to decrease the intensity of pollution. Today, the construction of new production plants is strictly controlled. The main criteria for allowing construction of new industrial plants and introduction of new technological processes, are now the potential harmful effects of the new plant on the environment.
