• A paper published in 2026 looks at per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and nanoplastics in agricultural food chains, a topic that falls under the regulatory research named in the list.2026 年刊出的一篇论文考察农业食物链中的全氟烷基与多氟烷基物质以及纳米塑料，正落在清单所列的监管研究方向之内。^[1]

History

• The title is a new one, and the register of serials records volume 1 number 1 of February 2021 as the starting point of the run.该刊是新创刊物，期刊登记机构把 2021 年 2 月的第 1 卷第 1 期记为这一连续出版物的起点。

• The serial register gives the web edition number 2692-1952, lists the medium as online and records no print counterpart, so the title has never appeared on paper.期刊登记机构给出的网络版号是 2692-1952，载体记为在线且没有印本对应项，该刊从未以纸质形态出版。

• A note on the same record reads that volume 1 number 1 of February 2021 is the first issue and that the title was taken from the caption on the publisher's site.同一份记录上的注记写明 2021 年 2 月的第 1 卷第 1 期即首期，题名取自出版方网站上的题头图像。
