Microplastics (MPs; > 100 μm) have been analyzed in several studies while small microplastics (SMPs; < 100 μm), additives, and plasticizers (APs) presence in the water column has not been investigated yet in detail. Svalbard Archipelago is a significant area for the identification of these particles. They can flow into the Arctic waters from mid and low latitudes by ocean currents and winds and they can be more easily transported than larger particles. Also, coastal sources, sea ice, and glaciers melting may locally contribute to their presence in Arctic seawater. Moreover, the evaluation of SMPs and APs' is essential since invertebrates can ingest these particles entering the trophic web and the abundance of these particles is mostly higher than that of components > 100 μm.
