Foodborne diseases remain an important public health challenge and they are an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. During 2018–2022 Slovenia reported 1152 different outbreaks. The most common were the respiratory disease outbreaks (902), outbreaks with contact transmission (186), followed by and foodborne disease outbreaks (22).

Emissions of total ozone precursors in Slovenia decreased by 62 % in the period 1990 to 2021. Emissions of nitrogen oxides decreased by 66 %, carbon monoxide by 70 %, non-methane volatile organic compounds by 54 % and methane by 26 %. The reason is mainly the introduction of more stringent emission standards for motor vehicles. This measure contributed to a significant reduction in emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide from road transport which is the main source of ozone precursors.

In Slovenia, total emissions of the pollutants that contribute to acidification and eutrophication have decreased by 81 % between 1990 and 2021. Emissions of SO_x have decreased by 98 %, NO_x by 66 % and NH₃ by 22 %. The emissions of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides and ammonia were in 2021 below the prescribed target values. Slovenia also met its emission reduction commitments compared to the year 2005.

In 2023, Slovenia recorded a decrease in the number and total area of functionally derelict areas (FDAs): 1070 FDAs were registered with a total area of 3225.44 ha. This brings the situation closer to that of 2017, with a decrease of 62 in the number of FDAs and 469.83 ha in total area, compared to 2020.

On average, households expenditure by consumption purpose in Slovenia was devoted predominantly on transport, housing, food and non-alcoholic beverages, which is similar to spending in the EU. The majority, a fifth of household spending, consisted of transport expenses. Energy poverty is present in approximately 7% of households, which is around 62,000 households or 102,000 inhabitants.
