Industrial pollution has remained as one of the most daunting challenges for many regions around the world. Characterizing the determinants of industrial pollution should provide important management implications. Unfortunately, due to the absence of high-quality data, rather few studies have systematically examined the locational determinants using a geographical approach. This paper aimed to ...

During the eighties the city of Rijeka was one of the most polluted cities in Croatia with sulphur dioxide due to high emission of this pollutant from industrial plants. In mid-eighties, annual means of SO2 exceeded 100 micrograms/m3 in the city centre, in the Bakar Bay area varied between 70-80 micrograms/m3, while in the suburban residential area they were up to 40 micrograms/m3.
