Data on air pollution shows that Slovenian cities are over-polluted with NO₂ and PM₁₀. Transport is one of the main causes of this pollution. Air quality in Slovenian cities improved during the economic recession after 2008, and after 2016 the NO₂ pollution became worse again.

Sustainable mobility planning at regional and local level has been rapidly gaining ground in the last decade. After joining the EU, this integrated approach to transport planning began to be implemented in Slovenia as well, and in the last decade the development of this area has experienced rapid progress. Nowadays, more and more municipalities respond to the incentives of the EU and of the Ministry of Infrastructure and are preparing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP), which are the central tool of the Sustainable urban mobility planning.

Nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, are important for the growth of algae and higher plants, but in high concentrations can cause undesirable changes in aquatic organisms and seawater quality. Long-term measurements of selected nutrients in the Slovenian sea show that their concentrations have decreased significantly. Therefore, the ecological status of the Slovenian Sea is assessed as good to very good based on nutrients in recent years.

The number of inhabitants who live in the impact area of major railways outside urban areas and are exposed to rail traffic noise has not changed significantly in the past years. In 2017, around 7,000 inhabitants were exposed to high noise levels throughout the day and around 10,700 inhabitants during the night. Between 2012 and 2017, the number of inhabitants who are exposed to high rail traffic noise did not decrease.

The number of inhabitants who are exposed to high noise levels along major roads and railways in Maribor is gradually decreasing. In Maribor, in terms of inhabitants exposed, rail traffic is less significant noise source compared to road traffic, which is one of the most significant noise sources. It is estimated that approximately 16,400 inhabitants are exposed to high road traffic noise levels throughout the day.
