Sitting where four rivers meet on the Croatian karst plain, Karlovac sees vehicle traffic and light industry across the plain as the dominant local influence on air quality, while the surrounding Karlovac terrain affects how pollutants disperse. Calm, still conditions tend to let levels build here more than in breezier weather, and the local topography around Karlovac can trap emissions for longer stretches during stable atmospheric periods.
