PubMed is a free database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics. The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health maintains the database as part of the Entrez information retrieval system. PubMed was first released in January 1996.
As of 30 December 2011, PubMed has over 21.4 million records going back to 1966; about 500,000 new records are added each year. As of 1 December 2011, 12.3 million articles are listed with their abstracts, and 12.7 articles have links to full-text (of which 3.5 million articles are available full-text for free for any user).

PubMed On Tap enables you to search PubMed. The app keeps a history of past searches. Search results, including those with PDFs, can be emailed. In the pro version you can also configure an advanced search and avoid banner ads.

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.
