The aim of our research were to analyze the impact of air pollution on increased death on people under 30 year old and health care economy. Material and method: we have used statistic data from Institute of Public Health, and Statistic institute. Results: In the period 2013-2023 years, the percentage of health care costs of Gross Domestic Income was min. 6.6% (2015) to max. 8.2% (2021). As an indicator of pollution, the percentage of the population that died under the age of 30 as a result of pollution in 2018- 2019 was 1.8%. It has believed that pollution was the cause of 17.3 % of the total mortality for that year. Pollution mainly occurs in: household heating, dilapidated central heating systems, lignin electricity production, outdated vehicle fleet, traffic and inadequate waste management. Public health spending increased from 49.12% (2013y) to 64.6% (2023y). Discussion: as a medium-developed country on our territory are harmful energy sources. On the one hand pollutants and their elimination are associated with investments in green energy, and on the other hand, reducing the costs of treating the sick as a result of pollution and repurposing funds for preventive health care. Conclusion: Investments in green energy and a green economy will directly affect the reduction of the consumption of health money taken from the fund and their repurposing into direct investments in health services.
