Central Rijeka (Mlaka) sits in air-quality category 3 mostly from traffic NOx along the waterfront and the Rijeka corridor. Around Mlaka and Urinj, refinery and traffic pollution — and the H2S smell ("smrad") near the Urinj refinery — are the recurring complaints, even after some refinery units were shut.
AZO, the Croatian Environment Agency, runs the official monitoring stations at Mlaka, Urinj and Rijeka-centar. This page is a modelled estimate for the area, not a reading from those stations, and it does not report the H2S that residents notice near Urinj — for that, and for the official figures, use the AZO portal below.
