Chemistry By Design, 535 synthetic sequences

Read time: 1 min

Chemistry By Design is an interactive virtual flashcard that allows everyone to test their skills using known synthetic sequences. The goal is to display the reagents, starting materials and products for every single step used in constructing a natural product or pharmaceutical.
To better serve the community everyone is called to submit a synthetic sequence not yet included in the app. The app is available online or for iOs and Android devices.
Chemistry By Design is created by Professor Jon T. Njardarson (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Arizona). 

Furthermore about Chemistry, Marie Curie Actions sometime ago presented a funny video: "Chemicals having a party".

Europe votes on the new air quality directive

The European Parliament's vote (and subsequently the Council of Europe's) on the new European Directive on air quality is expected for September 13. This directive updates the allowed atmospheric pollutant limits, bringing them closer to those established by the WHO in 2021. Resistance to the new objectives, mainly coming from the industrial world and established economic interests in certain regions, makes the outcome of the vote uncertain. However, there are no serious scientific or political reasons to oppose or attempt to dilute the more ambitious limits proposed by the new directive.

The new European Directive on air quality, currently under discussion in the European Parliament, updates the concentration limits of major air pollutants, bringing them closer to those set by the new guidelines of the World Health Organization (2021). The outcome of the vote, scheduled for September 13, is uncertain.
