[ZD01] Infant mortality due to respiratory diseases
Key message
The data for Slovenia shows that in the past five years, one infant died due to respiratory diseases, specifically in 2021, representing 11.1% of all infant deaths in that year. Research has indicated that air pollution is associated with higher infant mortality rates due to respiratory diseases. However, this relationship is complex, as it is also influenced by other factors such as the presence of allergens, exposure to cigarette smoke, diet, and lifestyle.
