The MALT90 survey targets more than 2000 high-mass star-forming clumps in the Galactic plane obtaining small maps around each of them, in 16 molecular lines at 90 GHz. By observing several thousand high-mass star forming clumps MALT90 aims to characterize their global chemical and physical evolution. Here we summarize the survey parameters and show examples of the MALT90 data toward three clumps in the central molecular zone.
