This review chapter is an overview of the published articles, thesis and report on pollution by microplastics in the Svalbard area. This work was supported by the Norwegian Polar Institute, Tromsø and Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System - Knowledge Centre (SIOS-KC). The findings of microplastics in sea ice, snow, water, sediment, and biota samples in Svalbard show that the archipelago is not isolated from pollution generated in other parts of the world and plastic pollution in the region must be monitored
