Air pollution is the greatest environmental risk to health and a major cause of disease and premature deaths in Europe. Pollution due to PM_2.5 causes respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic diseases. Since 2005, the number of premature deaths due to PM_2.5 pollution has been decreasing in Slovenia and in EU countries. In 2019, there were 1,409 premature deaths due to PM_2.5 pollution in Slovenia, and 307,000 in the European Union.
