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. 

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.
