Almost all Slovenian households have a washing machine and refrigerator, and they posses more and more dishwashers, dryers and microwaves. While, on the one hand, the consumption of electricity and other resources is reduced due to rapid and exceptional technological improvements (such as smart appliances), it is also increasing the number of these appliances in households, which negates the achievements in efficient use of resources. This is usually referred to as the "Rebound effect".

One of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia is road traffic, as passenger vehicles contribute as much as 20 % of all greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that, due to the smaller role of public passenger transport in Slovenia, it is necessary to achieve as much as 2/3 reduction of GHG emissions by electrifying the vehicle fleet, which dictates the replacement of existing vehicles with fossil fuels. with electric vehicles (battery and plug-in hybrids EV).

In the period 2002-2021, the highest exposure to ozone concentrations were detected in the Primorska region in summer where air quality measuring stations in Koper and Nova Gorica detected highest ozone concentrations in ambient air. There are some differences from year to year in a level of ozone exposure due to meteorological conditions in the warm half of the year and other regional characteristics. 

Since 2017, as a result of the introduction of the fuel price supplement due to the mixing of biofuels, use of biofuels has increased. In 2020, 10.9% RES share in the transport sector has been achieved. Biofuels contributed 94 % to this share, with some biofuels multiplied by multiplier factors in the calculation of the RES share. Biofuels accounted for less than 6% in 2020 in transport energy use, with one sixth of advanced biofuels.

One of the main reasons of mortality due to respiratory diseases is in Slovenia chronic pulmonary disease (COPD). The highest mortality rate due to respiratory diseases in Slovenia is in Savinjska and Zasavska region and the lowest in Central-Slovenian region (2017–2021). Mortality due to respiratory diseases is decreasing; in the period 2017 to 2021 it decreased from 62/100.000 inhabitants to 32/100.000 inhabitants. This can be attributed to the “harvesting effect” of COVID 19.
