Studies on the presence of atmospheric fungi in both Arctic and Antarctic polar areas are rare, and many of them were carried out briefly. Currently, when climate change is a fact, polar areas may be subject to various changes and fluctuations, negatively affecting sensitive polar ecosystems. The paper presents the results of tests on presence of fungi in the air over 30 years after the last investigations at the Svalbard Archipelago. A total of fifteen taxa of fungi were isolated in area of Longyearbyen, the majority of which were saprotrophic fungi of the genus Cladosporium that are associated with dead organic matter. Therefore, the presence of this taxon may be a good bioindicator of changes occurring in the Arctic environment, indirectly indicating the melting of glaciers and exposing increasingly larger areas inhabited by microorganisms, including fungi, which increase in number in the air. Additionally, the number of tourists visiting Longyearbyen is increasing, which may significantly affect the number and type of fungi in the air.

关于北极和南极极地地区大气真菌的存在的研究很少，其中许多是简短进行的。当前，当气候变化成为事实时，极地地区可能会发生各种变化和波动，从而对敏感的极地生态系统产生负面影响。本文介绍了在斯瓦尔巴群岛进行的最后一次调查之后的30年中，空气中真菌的存在的测试结果。在朗伊尔城地区共分离出十五种真菌类群，其中大部分是枝孢属的腐生真菌与死有机物质有关的。因此，该分类单元的存在可能是北极环境发生变化的良好生物指示，间接表明冰川融化并暴露出越来越多的微生物（包括真菌）在空气中居住的区域，这些微生物在空气中数量增加。此外，前往朗伊尔城的游客数量正在增加，这可能会严重影响空气中真菌的数量和类型。
