In 2019, there were 1,409 premature deaths due to PM_2.5 pollution in Slovenia, and 307,000 in the European Union.

In the last decades, major emissions of air pollutants from transport decreased. However, road transport remains one of the most significant sources of air pollution.

In the period 1990-2020 emissions of substances that cause acidification and emissions of ozone precursors in transport sector declined by 74 % and 77 %. In the period 2000-2020 emissions of particulate matter decreased by 56 %.
