In the period 1992–2022 the consumption of mineral fertilizers in Slovenia was reduced by 38%. In the same period the consumption of plant nutrients (N, P₂O₅, K₂O) per hectare of utilized agricultural area also reduced by 30%. The average consumption per hectare of utilized agricultural area was 61 kg N, 25 kg P₂O₅ and 31 kg K₂O. In the period 2012–2019 the average consumption of nitrogen in Slovenia was lower (57 kg N/ha) than in EU member states (63 kg N/ha).

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).

The emission of primary particles, smaller than 10 µm (PM₁₀), particles smaller than 2.5 µm (PM_2.5) and all total suspended particles (TSP) have decreased in the period 2000 – 2021 in Slovenia by 21 %, 29 % and 20 %. The main source of emissions of particulate matter are households, mainly due to use of biomass for domestic heating.

Heavy metal emissions in Slovenia significantly decreased between 1990 and 2020. This can be largely attributed to the implementation of the EU legislation, improved surveillance and use of the best available technology. 

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.
