Abstract
The paper deals with the problems of Koksara (coke plant) in Bakar, as well as the entire area of Bakar, immediately before the commissioning of the new plant in the first half of the 1970s. The paper presents new data that aims to show the pollution of the Bay of Bakar in the period in question, looking back on all the main forms of pollution. This paper also presents the most important environmental protection measures that the Koksara coke plant should have taken, and together with them, the most important research in the subject area is also presented. Finally, the paper also offers arguments for questioning the frequent position that the Koksara plant is the main cause of pollution in Bakar and its surroundings.
