On May 21st, Sierra Arn, Noemie Marti and Sarah Koch, all INCLUDE members from Basel visited the Zurich team to pilot the walking circuits. In those walking circuits, we aim to measure the inhaled dose of air pollutants in older adults with and without chronic respiratory disease as precisely as possible with wearable sensors. One of the two walking circuits in the Zurich area  will be completed in Wiedikon, near the on and off ramp to the highway, as this is an area that represents some of the higher, but real-life air pollution exposures in the Zurich area. 

This test run provided very valuable as we noticed some smaller issues in the order of our administered tests that need adjusting. Overall, this pilot test showed us that we are very close to starting with data collection.
