As early as the fifties, special attention was being paid to developing analytical methods for characterizing nuclear materials, but this rapidly expanded to take in the determination of metals, radioactive elements and organic substances in a wide range of ecological samples. The multi-disciplinary nature of the Institute, coupled with close collaboration between departments, has provided the basis for the development and application of more precise and sensitive analytical tools, making use of the expertise and instrumentation which support the basic research programmes. The structure of the Institute, as conceived by the first Director, Anton Peterlin, has, in this way, proved ideal for the evolution of environmental monitoring. <<BR>><<BR>> The Institute's concern today is not limited to passive assessment of the environment, but is devoted to its protection and improvement. In keeping with this aim, the Department for Environmental Impact Assessment was established in 1974 on the initiative of the Jožef Stefan Institute. A multidisciplinary group of leading experts from this and other Slovene institutes and faculties cooperate in evaluating the environmental impact of a wide variety of investigative projects and, through their recommendations, aim to prevent or minimize any harmful effects of the anticipated environmental impact. About 700 projects have so far been evaluated, including a calcite mine, a polyurethane plant and a military training ground.  -~''' ||<style="border-width: 0px; width:65%; text-align: left; color:#404040; vertical-align: top; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 2px; background:#"> [[Evolvement of research areas]]<<BR>><<BR>><<BR>>'''ENVIRONMENT''' <<BR>><<BR>><<Include(/Desno)>><<BR>>||
