2 Q Let me ask you this: When you examined the
3 samples on the filters with the electron microscope,
4 what did you find?
5 A Very little.
6 Q Okay.
7 A As far as fiber, we found nofiber with four
8 months of three Ph.D. electron microscopists, we found
9 no fiber which was of the size that would be classed
10 as an OSHA fiber.
11 In other words, there were no fibers found
12 that were over five microns in length that would be
13 respirable.
14 We found virtually all of the fiber length
15 was in the order of 6.6 to .7 microns in length which
16 is very, very short fiber; and they consisted of
17 two -- one, two, and three chrysotile fibrils which
4
18 are very, very tiny in size.
19 One fibril of chrysotile asbestos is about a
20 millionth of an inch in diameter. These are
21 exceedingly small and very short fibrils that we got.
